Iran’s Supreme Leader indicates that US sanctions hurting
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says US sanctions are putting pressure on Iran and its people, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
US President Donald Trump pulled out of an international agreement on Iran’s nuclear program in May and reimposed sanctions on Tehran.
“The sanctions do put pressure on the country and the people. The Americans happily say that these sanctions are unprecedented in history,” Khamenei says. “Yes, they’re unprecedented. And the defeat that the Americans will face will be unprecedented, God willing.”
