TEHRAN, Iran, May 22 (NNN-IRNA) – Iran will never bow to the pressures exerted by the United States, Iranian President, Hassan Rouhani said, on Tuesday.
It was the illusion of the “enemies” to think that they will shatter Iran’s steadfastness in development, Rouhani made the remarks in Iran’s northwestern West Azerbaijan province.
However, Iran “prospers” and the country develops in the hard time of sanction pressures, he said, in a live broadcast from state TV.
“This is a very decisive response to the White House … and to those who think that they can make Iran surrender under their pressures,” Press TV quoted him as saying.
Iran has been under unprecedented sanction pressure by the United States, following U.S. President, Donald Trump’s withdrawal from Iran’s nuclear deal in May last year.
Washington seeks to seal a new nuclear deal with Iran, to further curb Iran’s nuclear programme, stop Iran’s ballistic missile development and brake Iran’s push for influence in the region.
Iran has vowed to withstand the pressures and resist the U.S. “bullying policies.”– NNN-IRNA
