Iran’s Rouhani defends nuclear deal, calls US sanctions ‘economic terrorism’

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani defends the nuclear deal meant to limit Iran’s nuclear program and decries sanctions imposed by the Trump administration as part of its pullout from the accord.

“Unlawful unilateral sanctions in themselves constitute a form of economic terrorism,” he tells the UN General Assembly.

Rouhani says the US approach to Iran is “doomed to failure.”
