Iranian MP Urges Use of Shifting Global Order to Ease Sanctions Impact
A member of Iran's parliamentary National Security and Foreign Policy Commission says stronger ties with independent nations could help offset sanctions pressure, according to IRNA.
TEHRAN — A member of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission has called on Iran to capitalize on emerging opportunities created by a changing global order to lessen the impact of sanctions, the state news agency IRNA reported.
According to IRNA, the lawmaker said that expanding cooperation with what were described as independent countries could help Iran mitigate the effects of the sanctions it faces.
The remarks were made in the context of broader shifts in international power dynamics, though IRNA's report did not specify the countries or forms of cooperation being referenced.
Iran has been subject to extensive international sanctions, particularly from the United States and Western nations, targeting its economy, energy sector and financial institutions over its nuclear program and other policies.
The lawmaker's comments reflect ongoing discussions within Iranian political circles about diversifying international partnerships amid persistent economic pressure from sanctions.
IRNA did not provide additional details on specific policy proposals or a timeline for the suggested cooperation in its report.
