He said other countries, especially those that are Muslim majority, are at risk of facing similar sanctions. Iran has been under a Washington-backed embargo ever since US President Donald Trump abandoned a treaty to neutralise Tehran's nuclear weapons programme that took years to forge. But Dr Mahathir said years of embargo has not prevented the oil-producing country from progress, noting that it proudly stands as a nation with the fourth highest number of engineers in the world.
