RNA – On Monday, Mohammad-Reza Shanehsaz, the head of Iran’s Food and Drug ‎Administration, declared the country’s self-sufficiency in production of different anti-‎Coronavirus equipment, and declared that Iran is ready to start export of these items.‎

‎“Today, we are self-sufficient in providing drugs, masks, diagnosis kits, disinfection materials ‎and alcohol,” Shanehsaz said.‎

He added that given the mass-production of these products by the knowledge-based ‎companies and pharmaceutical firms, the country is ready to export the anti-Coronavirus ‎equipment.‎

Shanehsaz stressed that the country’s pharmaceutical know-how has grown so considerably ‎that any medicine developed in the world will be indigenized and mass-produced in Iran in ‎less than two years.‎

‎“At present, 97% of the country’s needs to medicine in all fields are produced by Iranian ‎specialists,” he said.‎

In relevant remarks on Sunday, President Hasan Rouhani expressed Iran’s preparedness to ‎export hygiene data-x-items to other countries to assist them in Coronavirus campaign.‎

Rouhani informed of his foreign counterparts’ astonishment upon knowing that Iran is ‎capable enough to export extra disinfectants to countries in need.‎

‎“We may even be able in the future to export some other hygiene data-x-items and test kits,” the ‎president added. ‎

‎“The enemies thought their two years of tough sanctions could destroy Iran, but now they ‎are frustrated and infuriated when they see the Iranian people are responding to the disease ‎much better than they do themselves,” Rouhani noted.‎
