He said that the foreign companies need to observe all the regulations set by the Iranian government in order to ensure their continuous presence in Iran.

He added that such critics disregard the country’s national interests, under such conditions that the oil prices keep lowering and the national economy is in need of rapid recovery and fast blossoming.
