Tehran-Sana
Hosam Eddin Ashna, an advisor to the Iranian president, reiterated his country's adherence to its principled positions, stressing that the fate of the US blockade on Iran would be a failure.
Ashna said in a tweet published on his page on the social networking site Twitter that the dismissal of US President Donald Trump to his national security adviser John Bolton is proof of the failure to impose maximum pressure by America against Iran.
Ashna said that pushing Bolton to the sidelines and then deleting it is not only an event, but a conclusive evidence of the failure of the US strategy of extreme pressure against Iran.
Earlier in the day, the US president announced that he had fired Bolton because he "strongly disagrees with his positions."
