Iran Rejects U.S. Sanctions
Tehran, May 25 (KCNA) -- The head of the Iranian Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Commission in an interview with a news agency on May 23 denounced the U.S. for its persistent sanctions against his country.

The U.S. said in its recent statement that it had frozen the assets of the Iranian Bank of Industry and Mines for its alleged involvement in facilitating transactions to support Iran's proliferation activities and suspected nuclear program.

"We have always faced the problem of sanctions and embargos over last 30 years, but Iran will continue its way with increased momentum," he said.

"Americans are aware that those who impose sanctions are the major losers," he noted.
