Rouhani calls on US to compensate for Trump's 'economic war'
President Hassan Rouhani called on the current US administration to undo the harm caused by the previous one, which he said was run by a "crazy person."
President Hassan Rouhani made some fresh comments today as the public battle between the United States and Iran heats up over which country will take the first step in salvaging the nuclear deal.
Participating in a virtual conference via video, Rouhani admitted that the people of Iran have experienced “difficulty, pain and problems” since President Donald Trump exited the nuclear deal in 2018 and reapplied US sanctions. “We did not think that in America a crazy person would be elected and start a historically incomparable war against the nation,” said Rouhani, referring to the crippling economic sanctions as an “economic war.”
