The United States has only lifted Iranian sanctions on paper and in
practice is scaring businesses away from the country, its Supreme Leader
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday.
“On
paper the United States allows foreign banks to deal with Iran, but in
practice they create Iranophobia so no one does business with Iran,”
Khamenei was quoted as saying by his official website, addressing
hundreds of workers in Tehran.
“The US official says the sanctions regime is still in place to scare away the foreign investment from Iran.”
The
deal with world powers allowed for the easing of some sanctions in
return for Tehran curbing its nuclear program. Iran has previously
called on the United States to do more to remove obstacles in the
banking sector.
