Iran's economy is completely dependent on foreign countries and imports exceed the exports in the country's foreign trade balance, an expert in economics Mehdi Naimi told Trend.
He noted that economies of all developed countries depend on foreign countries. But, a group of these are producing countries, he added, noting that such countries as Iran are not considered one of them.
Sanctions have been imposed against Iran since the Iranian Revolution of 1979, Naimi said, adding that before 2010 sanctions were not as severe as they are now and Iran's exports were never as restricted as today.
As it comes to the sanctions Iran faces today, they fully aim the country's imports and exports, he said, adding that the new sanctions aim to cease exports of Iran's crude oil, as well as other important products such as pistachio.
