Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran’s President Hassan Rouhani addresses the UN General Assembly, beginning his speech by railing against the Trump administration.
“The government of the United States of America, at least the current administration, seems determined to render all international institutions ineffectual,” he says.
Rouhani rejects Trump’s offer to hold bilateral talks.
“On what basis and criteria can we enter into an agreement with an administration misbehaving such as this?” says Rouhani.
He goes on to charge the US with plotting regime change in Iran.
“It is ironic that the US government doesn’t even conceal its plan for overthrowing the same government it invites to talks,” he says.
