Iranian President Hassan Rouhani unloaded on President Trump during a fiery speech before Parliament Tuesday; blasting the administration for its ‘Anti-Iranian’ policies that have led to a crippling recession.
Rouhani addressed Iranian lawmakers this week as the Islamic Republic’s currency continued to collapse in the wake of harsh US sanctions; saying he will not bow to “plots” hatched in Washington.
“I want to assure the Iranian nation that we will not allow the U.S. plot against the Islamic Republic to succeed,” he told parliament. “We will not let this bunch of anti-Iranians in the White House be able to plot against us.”
“Iranian lawmakers had ordered President Hassan Rouhani to answer for his role in the faltering economy amid growing political divisions in the country. Rouhani claimed that newly reimposed U.S. sanctions after President Trump pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal would only serve to unify the country,” writes Fox.
Iran’s currency -the rial- has lost nearly 66% of its value in recent months as the youth unemployment rate climbed to 25% throughout the country.
