We have been able to defeat the US plots with the strategy of resistance. Jahangiri said. addressing a ceremony in the Northern city of Noshahr.
The US threatens the foreign governments and companies (not to cooperate with Iran) but it has not been able to attain its most important goal. that is the collapse of Iran`s economy. he added.

The US imagines that it can zero down our oil sales by exerting pressure on the countries which purchase Iran`s oil to lead Iran`s economy towards a collapse. but fortunately. the situation of Iran`s economy enjoys an acceptable stability one year after the US oil sanctions. Jahangiri said in a meeting with Head of the International Liaison Department of the Communist Party of China Song Tao in Tehran.
