TEHRAN – Deputy Chair of U.S.-China Partnership Foundation believes Washington could never win its economic war against Tehran as Iran enjoys huge potential to fight the war.

In an interview with IRNA published on Sunday, John Milligan-Whyte said the U.S. measures against other countries such as China and Iran, which comes in the form of economic pressure on them, are wrong.

Such moves cannot be interpreted as peaceful, he said.

The U.S. pressure on Iran cannot be expected to last long and succeed since Iran is a very powerful country with a civilization much older than the U.S., he stated.
