Speaking to
NIPNA, Shahab Naderi, who is a member of the parliament’s economy committee, said
that the US, following his successive failures before the Islamic Republic of
Iran still stuck to its hostile policies towards the country and had imposed
sanctions against the Iranian nation.
“The Americans
may be able to exert pressure on governments not to buy Iranian petrochemical products,
but because of the diversity of the items produced by Iranian petrochemical plants,
they are unsanctionable,” the MP said.
Iran generates
17.1 million dollars in petrochemical revenues annually of which $12.1b are in
hard currency generated by exporting items and nearly $5b are generated by
supplying the items on the domestic markets.
Iranian
petrochemical plants export cargoes to 30 destinations in Europe or Asia, and
the technical knowhow for production of most of the catalysts used in the
sector have been developed domestically by Iranian research centers and
universities.
