Their is a saying in my country which says, as a man, sometimes it's best to use your tongue to count your teeth, and I believe that it's what Iran has realized, because for their economy to grown without problem, they have to rely more on themselves, and it's a blessing in disguise because most of this sanctions has made Iran realized that they have even more potential in producing things they never thought they could in the past, and I believe that they are even more better off than when depending on the US for some certain things, so self sufficient is the best, but if they can't produce all they need, they just have to try not to rely on the Us for anything, so that it will not be used to undo them in the future, just as they are doing now at any slight opportunity.
Well said.
The sanctions and the economic terrorism that US regime has been carrying out against Iranians is damaging and disruptive but at the same time it has been a blessing and greatly beneficial too. A lot of the advancements in Iran is because of those sanctions. After the revolution when Iranians overthrew the US backed dictatorship on 1979, Iran has made great advances in all sciences and technologies.
For example today Iran's medical sector is leading, like the Iranian surgical robots like the remote controlled Sina (named after the Persian physician and father of modern medicine Ibn Sina) is being exported; while 50 years ago Iran didn't even have decent doctors and had to import foreign doctors!
One of the main reasons for US regime's animosity toward Iran is these advancements. They don't want Iran to become like a "role model" for other nations as well...
