The Latest from Iran (19 October): "The Sanctions Will Hurt Europe"

0510 GMT: Broadcast Watch. As Iranian media continues its campaign against Eutelsat's suspension of 19 State TV channels, the German service Deutsche Welle has accused Tehran of jamming its signals.

The BBC said on Thursday that broadcasts had been disrupted in the Middle East and Europe. It did not name Iran, but Eutelsat had claimed on 4 October that it was being jammed by the Islamic Republic.

 

0505 GMT: Speaking in Kuwait on Wednesday, President Ahmadinejad, declaring that the European Union is on the verge of collapse, said, "The question is whether it is the economic situation in Iran or Europe which is in bad conditions today?”

Ahmadinejad then answered with the assurance that Iran has a "very large economy" so it can manage without oil sales --- which make up more than 80% of its export revenue: "The arrogant powers want to take revenge on the Iranian nation through the imposition of sanctions, but they will certainly fail.”
