Flag of IranTEHRAN, Apr 1 Iranian Central Bank Deputy Governor for International Affairs Mohsen Karimi on Friday told RIA Novosti that the authorities of the Islamic Republic offered the Russian side measures to avoid American sanctions and cooperate in the current conditions. «Iran, based on its rich experience of being under sanctions in recent years, to get out of the influence of American domination and hostile countries took the necessary measures, which he proposed to the Russian side,» Karimi said. The Iranian leadership has forty years of experience in resisting Western sanctions, especially US sanctions. During this time, Tehran has managed to reorient itself towards the production of its own goods in all sectors of the economy. At the same time, Iran also maintains foreign trade operations at a high level. Given the sanctions of the West and the inability to trade with European countries, Iran has completely turned towards the Asian region, in particular China. Earlier, a number of Western countries imposed new sanctions against the Russian Federation because of Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the policy of containment and weakening of the Russian Federation is a long-term strategy of the West, and the sanctions dealt a serious blow to the entire global economy. According to him, the main goal of the West is to worsen the lives of millions of people. Putin also said that the United States and the European Union had effectively defaulted on their obligations to Russia, freezing its foreign exchange reserves. He added that the current events draw a line under the global dominance of the West in both politics and economics. in national currencies
