Iran’s Rouhani says US has ‘failed to stop oil exports’

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says that US sanctions would not prevent his country from exporting oil and that Iran would not give into pressure from Washington, Reuters reports.

“America blames us for its failures in the region,” Rouhani says during speech in the city of Khoy, which is being broadcast live on television. “We will not yield to this pressure that is part of the psychological war against Iran.”

“They have failed to stop our oil exports,” he says of US sanctions. “We will keep exporting it.”
