Iran Borrows From Russia To Get Back At United States
Iran will get help from any other nation that is out to needle the US |
Iran
has purposefully moved towards a resistance budget to get back at the United
States.
Prime Minister Hassan Rouhani has informed the parliament that it has sort help from Russia
that is now offering Tehran a loan of $billion to revive its strained economy.
With
the new budget, Iran has come up with a strategy that will depend less on oil
revenues and more on other things, that are not affected by America’s ‘crippling
embargoes’. Undeniably,Tehran is facing an economic crisis.
With
the equation with Untied States going from sour to bitter, Iran has been in
desperate needs of funds to revive its economy.
Also, it is in pressure to reduce the prices of its escalating gasoline
prices, due to severe sanctions slapped on it.
Speaking
to the Parliament, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has said,“Next year,
similar to the current year, our budget is a budget of resistance and
perseverance against sanctions. This budget sends a message to the world that
despite sanctions we will manage the country, especially in terms of oil.”
Russiahas shown quite a lot of support to Iran at a time when rest of the EU nations
were trying to get Iran and the US on the same page to end the cold war over
the 2015 Nuclear Agreement.
Russia
is fast becoming a silent super power that is lending helping hands wherever
the Middle Eastern strong nations and the US do not see eye-to-eye. This
includes Iran, Turkey, Syria, Iraq to name a few nations in conflict.
Russia
has continued with the re-configuring of Iran’s underground Fordow nuclear
facility that it had started in 2017. TVEL, a unit of Russian state-owned
nuclear energy company Rosatom was pursuing the project for civilian medical
research but had been stalled after the US withdrew from the 2015 Nuclear Deal.
In
its own way, Moscow has shown solidarity with Iran. Speaking over this, spokesman
for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Behrouz Kamalvandi had
said, “We are sure that the Russians will not abandon their projects in Iran in
the wake of the US’ [new] sanctions, because they are currently involved in the
construction of Bushehr-2 and -3 power plants.”
