Association of industrialists condemns blockade of assets

Tehran, Sept 16, IRNA – Head of Iran Industrial and Mines Association Bijan Panahizadeh said on Saturday that blockade of assets of Iranian industrialists and miners in foreign banks would jeopardize interests of the western and European merchants. Panahizadeh told IRNA that the association is advocating rights of industrialists and miners inside and outside the country. He said the false idea that the purchases made by members of the Association were for government led to blockade of assets of the industrialists and miners. He added that the private sector of western states would be the main losers of such freeze of assets and the sanctions on the Islamic Republic of Iran.
