'We are facing a new and difficult situation, regarding the economic warfare waged by the enemy against Iran, and we should fight forcefully,' Eshaq Jahangiri said, addressing a ceremony held for inauguration of an expansion project of the Saba Steel Complex in Isfahan.
'The country now is in a unique historic era as, according to what US officials say, the Treasury of the United States has turned into an economic war room against Iran,' Jahangiri said.
'Their behavior shows that they intend to exacerbate the economic conditions in Iran and, by promoting discontent among the Iranian public, meet their ends,' he said.
'This is a strategy adopted by the United States, the Zionist regime of Israel and Saudis,' the Iranian first vice president said.
