Iran's First Vice-President, Mohammad Reza Rahimi, said on Tuesday that sanctions have acted as an opportunity in disguise for the Iranian nation to move triumphantly from strength to strength.

According to IRNA, addressing the inauguration ceremony of 6 big petrochemical projects in the South Pars gas field in southern Iran, Rahimi said today that the country has made great achievements as sanctions were really a blessing in disguise.
Referring to the harsh measures of the West against Iran, he lauded firm resolve of the country's officials to foil the plots hatched by the enemies and their commendable acts to build Iran's infrastructure.
