Speaking at UN, Rouhani blasts US peace plan

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani addresses the UN General Assembly.

He says the Middle East “is burning in the flames of war, bloodshed, occupation” and the Palestinians “are the biggest victims.”

Rouhani condemns the still-unreleased US peace plan, saying any proposal by an American administration that also recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and Israel’s control over the Golan Heights is “certainly doomed.”
