Those imposing sanctions on Iran have found Iran's weak points and therefore is always pressured in the same direction, Ardakanian said.
He added that being a consumer country is one of the reasons why Iran faces sanctions.
The minister further noted that consumption is higher in Iran compared to some industrial and developed countries.
