Iran has been under intense pressure from the USA and its European allies against its nuclear program. They accuse Iran of building an atomic bomb. Iran says that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. The USA and its allies have even imposed a stricter round of sanctions against Iran.
Iran’s nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi said ` the scientific phase of the fusion energy research project is being launched with no budgetary limitations`. He also said that Iran was ready to cooperate with the international community over the country’s National Fusion Energy Project.
Hamid Borhani, deputy head of the Central Bank of Iran said `any country that creates limitations for Iran’s assets, we will stop trading with them`. `We have to protect our assets, he added.
Iran has warned that it will not trade with any of the countries that have imposed sanction on it. The United Nations, USA, and European Union have imposed a fourth round of sanctions on Iran over its nuclear enrichment activities.
The Iranian President has consistently played down the impact of UN sanctions. He has called them a `used handkerchief`.
