Whoever Elected US President Ought to Give In to Iranians: Rouhani


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – It doesn’t matter to Iran who will win the upcoming presidential election in the US because the White House will have to surrender to the Iranian nation, President Hassan Rouhani said.

“It is by no means important for the Islamic Republic of Iran who will win the US presidential election, because any government taking power in the US would have to surrender to the Iranian nation,” Rouhani said at a weekly cabinet session on Wednesday.

Today, one can definitely conclude that the US’ actions against the Iranian nation have ended in failure, the president underlined.

He also noted that the termination of the UN arms embargo on Iran has marked a victory for rationalism against force.

“It doesn’t matter what amounts of weapons we purchase or sell with the arms embargo lifted. What is important is that the logic of right and righteousness and the logic of law and rationalism defeated force and bullying, and that the Iranian nation achieved its rights,” the president added.

Rouhani also highlighted the failure of the US and the Zionist regime to convince the JCPOA parties to withdraw from the nuclear deal, saying the Islamic Republic behaved wisely and adopted a “very complicated and calculated policy” after Washington’s unilateral withdrawal from the nuclear accord.

The president further underlined Iran’s efforts to boost non-oil exports despite the enemy’s disruptive measures, adding, “Diversification of the country’s non-oil exports prevented the enemy from obstructing or disrupting our country’s non-oil exports.”
