Rafsanjani urges Iran not to dismiss sanctions
None
Former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani urged Iranian officials on Tuesday against dismissing international sanctions as "jokes," saying the Islamic republic was facing its worst ever "assault" from the global community.
"Throughout the revolution, we never had so many sanctions (imposed on Iran) and I am calling on you and all officials to take the sanctions seriously and not as jokes," the ILNA news agency quoted Rafsanjani as telling the six-monthly meeting of the Assembly of Experts, which supervises the work of Iran's supreme leader.
