Rouhani: US Sanctions Like Coronavirus, ‘Panic More than Reality’
2020-02-24
[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] Iranian President Hasan Rouhani likened US sanctions to coronavirus on Sunday, saying sanctions by Washington make panic more than reality.

Speaking with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Austria Alexander Schallenberg, Rouhani said the Europe
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
an Union "is expected to stand up to US’ illegal actions."

He described Tehran-Vienna relations as very good and friendly.

"The two countries have good potentials, especially in economic fields, for cooperation and we hope that Austria disregards the Americans’ illegal pressures in developing its cooperation with Iran."

"We believe that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) can still be saved," Rouhani said, as quoted by Mehr news agency.

He stressed, meanwhile, that the nuclear deal does not just belong to Iran, Europe or the P5+1, but it can contribute to regional and global peace and security.

The Iranian president said that the nuclear deal could have been a good basis for building new trust between us and the West, including the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
and the United States, emphasizing that the Islamic Theocratic Republic has been committed to the deal for its own part.

#1  Just a panic? Okay, let's see how the virus does in Iran. China cut it off at about 80,000 cases with very tight population movement control and other measures. Are the mullahs going to work at home now and broadcast their sermons on the Internet? Nah, I didn't think so .. let's fill up those mosques!
