TEHRAN – Iran’s Parliament speaker announced on Tuesday that certain measures have been taken to tackle the problems facing investment in Iran since Trump exited the U.S. from the nuclear deal and plans to reinstate sanctions on Tehran.

Ali Larijani made the remarks at a ceremony unveiling the book entitled “The Economy of Iran in 2017”.

“Considering the fact that America acted in violation of ethics and international rules and commitments in regard to the nuclear deal, the move has somehow affected the country’s situation in terms of the type of investment,” Larijani told reporters. “For this reason, we have taken certain measures and negotiations are also taking place [to manage the situation].”
