Iran's problems 'internal,not just sanctions': Khamenei

Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Monday that the country's economic problems were the result of internal mismanagement and not just US pressure.

"Economic experts and many officials believe the cause of this issue is not foreign, it's internal. Not that sanctions don't have an impact, but the main factor is how we handle them," he said in a speech in Tehran, according to tweets released on his official account.
