Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolution Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei dismissed effectiveness of the western sanctions against Iran, underlining that the country has proved to be successful despite all pressures.
The leader said the Islamic republic has achieved "eye-catching successes" in its confrontation with western powers and their economic and propaganda campaigns.
"Countering the sanctions and progress in nuclear (technology) is part of these accomplishments," he said in a meeting with members of the Islamic society of Iranian students in Europe.
This triumphant trend will not subside and will continue apace in the future, he added.
"The enemy is repeatedly suffering defeats and setbacks, despite its all-out security and political measures against the Islamic Republic," Ayatollah Khamenei reiterated.
Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei expressed confidence about the Iranian nation's victory over enemies' plots and pressures.
“The Islamic Iran has achieved eye-catching success in its confrontation with the arrogant powers and the complicated and huge economic and propaganda network affiliated to them," Ayatollah Khamenei said.
The Leader noted that Iran's standing against western sanctions and Tehran's progresses in the nuclear field were part of the Iranian nation's achievement, and noted that Iran's achievements would continue.
He made the remarks after US President Barack Obama signed on Saturday the bill on banking sanctions against Iran.
Deputy head of Iran's Armed Forces Joint Chiefs of Staff Brigadier General Seyed Massoud Jazayeri said other counties will not collaborate with Washington in imposing sanctions on Iran's oil industry as they are aware of the "heavy detriments and consequences" of the move.
Iran's oil ban will take toll on world and the move will inflict heavy losses on them, Jazayeri said.
