TEHRAN, May 6 (KUNA) -- Iran affirmed on Tuesday that it is prepared for all scenarios and has taken all necessary measures to face US sanctions.
Iranian Government Spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani in her weekly press briefing, stated that this is not the first time sanctions have been imposed against us, and we have taken the necessary steps to face them. We are ready for all scenarios."

Recently, the US imposed new sanctions on seven entities based in Turkiye and Iran, accusing them of being involved in the "illicit" trade of Iranian oil and petrochemicals.
Washington also imposed sanctions on six entities and six individuals in China and Iran "for their involvement in a network to purchase missile fuel components on behalf of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps." Omani Foreign Minister, Badr bin Hamad Al-Busaidi announced on Thursday that "for logistical reasons, we have rescheduled the US-Iran talks," which were initially set to take place at the beginning of this week.
