Mohammad-Bagher Nobakht, the government’s spokesperson under Hassan Rouhani and the former head of Plan and Budget Organization, criticized state officials who are admitting to the current economic crises and warned that this disarms the negotiation team from any leverage in the current nuclear talks in Vienna.
Nobakht tweeted: “While negotiating with countries that are at economic war with us, why are some officials exaggerating the country’s economic problems and talk about bankruptcy? If we were waging a military war, would you be reporting the casualties in the same way? Would this help the people getting rid of the sanctions?”
