Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman on Aims of Anti-Iran Sanctions
Tehran, January 18 (KCNA) -- Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Sunday that the U.S. and other Western countries' sanctions on Iran are aimed to bust up their economic rivals in Asia.

The U.S. is seeking to stay the economic growth of its rivals by destabilizing the energy market through sanctions on Iran's oil industry, he pointed out.

Asian countries will not throw out their national interests bowing to the U.S. political pressure, he said, stressing that Iran is never worrying over the U.S.'s sanctions.
