Iran is engaged in a ‘smart economic war’ with Western powers whose sanctions against its nuclear programme are hurting some Iranians, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said.
‘Targeted sanctions, which the enemies say are supposed to be crippling, have led to a drop in our oil’ sales, Ahmadinejad said in a live interview on state television, referring to an oil embargo imposed by the European Union.
‘They do not even let us transfer the oil money,’ he said. ‘They thought Iran's economy would break down, but it did not.’
