Rouhani: US economic pressure won’t defeat Iran
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran’s President Hassan Rouhani says the United States will not defeat Iran with economic pressure.
In a live broadcast on state TV, Rouhani says: “The Iranian nation will not be defeated by America, the White House could not defeat the Iranian nation.”
Rouhani refers to recently imposed sanctions by the US, which have made conditions for Iranians difficult, saying: “But at the end of the road, the victory is ours.”
Rouhani calls the US a “bully” for its measures against Iran.
Last year, the US withdrew from a nuclear deal between Iran and world powers and reimposed sanctions on Iran targeting the country’s oil sector.
