Sepehvand: Trust Names Must Not Be Leaked, as They Circumvent Sanctions

The energy spokesperson of Parliament, commenting to Dideban Iran on America's promise to seize cryptocurrencies belonging to the Iranian government, said: 'Seizing crypto is theft; Americans are like pirates.' Sepehvand: Trust names must not be leaked because they circumvent sanctions, first appeared on Safir Arjan.

According to Ambassador Arjan's report, Iran's maritime blockade and sanctions have tightened, and as high-ranking officials and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant say, cargo transportation sanctions are also on the way. Due to the fact that Iran's refineries were targeted in the war and are being rebuilt, the concern about the lack of gasoline has also increased. On the part of Masoud, doctors and government officials have repeatedly proposed different figures for the import of gasoline. With the introduction of maritime transportation sanctions by the Americans, it is feared that we will face a shortage of gasoline. Moreover, 50 countries have supported the increase in sanctions and economic exclusion of Iran and have joined the United States. This companionship led to Golan further US and announced that it will also confiscate cryptocurrencies.

Iran Watch talked about the statement of 50 countries against Iran, the possibility of a shortage of gasoline, the confiscation of cryptocurrency and the increase in the price of the dollar with Reza Sepehvand, the representative of Khorramabad and Chegni and the spokesperson of the Energy Commission of the 12th Parliament.

You can read the detailed interview of Reza Sepehvand, the energy spokesman of the Majlis, below:

Fortunately, the domestic production of gasoline is sufficient for our needs

Reza Sepehvand, the energy spokesman of the Majlis, told Iran Watch about the possibility of a shortage of gasoline: "First, we are not importing gasoline anymore; That is, we produce enough, because we cannot import gasoline. The import is very low and reaches two, three million liters and sometimes less than this amount per day. Therefore, our gasoline is domestically produced and fortunately it has reached the point where we meet our needs."

Sepevand said about America's promise to confiscate cryptocurrencies belonging to the Iranian government: "The confiscation of cryptocurrencies is theft and the Americans are like pirates." In the case of cryptocurrencies, they entered different places and seized resources, and they hacked, confiscated and took away those cryptocurrencies that now belonged to individuals, institutions and the government.

He said about the naval blockade and its effects: The naval blockade has been implemented for a long time and they have added the air blockade to it. The enemy is trying his best to increase the economic pressure and internal dissatisfaction. Certainly, every blockade has its own negative effect, but Iran has many capabilities, and the geography of the country and the existence of 15 neighbors have increased Iran's ability to resist sea, air and economic blockades.

The spokesperson of the Energy Commission pointed out that it is not the first time that we are under siege and said: "We have been under the embargo and blockade of America for 47 years, but today this blockade and embargo has increased. "It is true that this process has its negative effects, but America cannot surrender us in this way."

In the war, despite the grievances, people stood by the system and the country

This member of the committee of the energy committee of the parliament answered the question that despite the economic and livelihood pressures and the devaluation of the national currency, do you think the government can stop the protest with this performance? He emphasized: "Undoubtedly, dissatisfactions are increasing day by day due to economic problems. But let's not forget that after the 18th and 19th of last year, when dissatisfaction was much higher, people stood up for the country and the system after the war. Dissatisfaction is increasing now. "My prediction is that people will not take to the streets in such a way that they will endanger the country."

The heads of the forces, the Supreme National Security Council and to some extent the parliament are also involved in the decisions

Explaining the reason why people do not come to the streets to protest, this member of parliament said: "Our war with America is an existential war; That is, it is no longer a war of government or sovereignty with America, but an existential war of a country {Iran} with America and Israel. Therefore, people have always shown that they stand by Iran in the existential war. The government should not be left alone in this situation. Because you know that in many issues the final decisions are not taken by the government. The heads of the forces, the Supreme National Security Council and to some extent the parliament are also involved in the decisions. Therefore, the entire government should be more careful so that the pressure on the people is less. "Part of this pressure is due to the war."

Pointing out that part of this pressure is due to the management, Sepehvand stressed: "It is abused in many places. Among other things, we witnessed this in the issue of terraces. The currency that should have returned on time and in sufficient quantity has not returned to the country. These are mismanagement and abuse that, in addition to creating economic pressure and intensifying dissatisfaction, are more dangerous than the lack of supply. That is, people feel that in this situation where they need the help of the government and the government, these events should not happen at all."

The network of circumventing sanctions and economic pressures should not be exposed

The spokesperson of the Energy Commission in response to the question that the names of the trustees are not published? He told Iran Watch: "First, all the terraces have no problem. Some of them have problems. The nature of the trusts is such that their names should not be revealed, because they bypass the embargo and the economic blockade, and they have networks, and the networks should not be revealed."

Sepewand pointed out: "But there should be much more monitoring and care, and if they commit a violation, they should be dealt with immediately so that this does not happen again."
