Russian businessmen learn to live under sanctions from Iranians – Mehr News Agency | Iran and world’s news
Mehr News Agency, International Group: The Financial Times recently reviewed a report the effect Western sanctions affected the lives of the Russian people and he wrote that Russian businessmen travel to Iran to learn how to live under sanctions.
The report quotes one of Iran’s tour guides as saying: “Russian tourists who used to travel to Iran to learn more about Iranian art, culture and food now know how Iranians have been able to do so.” اند Despite countless sanctions, they continue to live and travel to Iran.
According to the guide, the number of Russian tourists visiting Iran, especially Russian businessmen, has multiplied following the sanctions imposed on Moscow following Russia’s military operation in Ukraine. Those who used to come to Iran mostly to sell their products now come to this country to buy.
For 40 years, Iranians have lived with volatile Western sanctions اند Especially after the US withdrawal from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, known as Borjam, during Donald Trump’s presidency, it has intensified and made Tehran’s access to the global financial system more difficult.
A nuclear deal was signed in 2015 between Iran and six world powers (US, Britain, Russia, China, France and Germany), but Trump in 2018 despite opposition from others. Signatories The nuclear deal announced that the United States would withdraw from the Security Council. He also launched a new campaign called “maximum pressure” against Iran and subjected Tehran to the toughest possible sanctions.
However, according to the author of the Financial Times article, Iran was able to find ways to access the global market, and now Western products, including even Apple phones, can be found in the Iranian market. Although Chinese brands are more common in Iran than other brands, Western goods such as Philips or Bosch products can still be seen in the market.
“The Russians are far behind the Iranians in terms of access to the world market and the purchase of American or European supplies and spare parts in the face of sanctions,” the British newspaper quoted the Iranian tourism guide as saying.
According to the Financial Times, the ability of Iranian businessmen to circumvent sanctions and continue the country’s exports and imports in the face of sanctions has reduced the restrictions and problems arising from these sanctions. However, the conclusion of the Barjam revival talks could also lead to the lifting of further sanctions.
