Rouhani: Table with ‘all options’ is broken

Speaking in Iranian Kurdistan, President Hassan Rouhani calls on US officials to stop threatening Tehran… or find a good carpenter.

Referring to Western and Israeli assurances that “all options are on the table,” meaning military force is still being considered to thwart the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program, Rouhani claims that “the table they are talking about has broken legs,” according to Iranian state media reports.

Rouhani also says remarks by US Secretary of State John Kerry in which he told US lawmakers not to directly threaten Iran means “Iran has been the winner since square one.”

“The US should know that it has no other option but respecting Iran and showing modesty towards the country and saying the right thing,” he says.
