Iran’s problems ‘internal, not just sanctions’: Khamenei

TEHRAN, Aug 13, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei said Monday that the country’s economic problems were the result of
internal mismanagement and not just US pressure.

“Economic experts and many officials believe the cause of this issue is not
foreign, it’s internal. Not that sanctions don’t have an impact, but the main
factor is how we handle them,” he said in a speech in Tehran, according to
tweets released on his official account.
