| Rouhani: Iran ready to confront US, 'small mercenary states' |
| 2018-09-24 |
[PRESSTV] President Hassan Rouhani says the United States wants to cause insecurity in Iran with the help of "small mercenary states" in the region, but that the Islamic Theocratic Republicis ready to confront them. Rouhani's remarks in Tehran Sunday before leaving for New York to attend the UN General Assembly came a day after holy warriors attacked a military parade in Ahvaz in southwest Iran, killing 25 people. "Americans want Iran to have no security. They want to create chaos and turmoil and set the conditions so that they can return to the country one day and take charge as they did in the old days, but none of these is possible," the president said. "These are unattainable dreams and America will never achieve any of these goals," Rouhani added. He touched on Washington's hostile policies toward Iran, including its withdrawal from an international nuclear deal with Tehran under "delusional excuses," putting a nation under strain. "Our people will resist and the government has prepared itself for this confrontation," he said, adding that everyone will "join hands to put these difficult times behind us with the grace of God." "The Americans will regret what they did because they made a very wrong choice", the president added. |
