Tehran 20 March_Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani says US sanctions and pressures have failed to force the Iranian nation to give in to Washington’s excessive demands.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)_“The harshest ever sanctions were imposed against our nation [last year] by global terrorists,” Rouhani said on Friday morning in a message to Iranians on the occasion of New Year.
He added, “Our oil industry came under the most severe sanctions regime in history and pressures were mounted on our economy from all directions.”
The Americans sought to increase pressure on Iran through sanctions in an attempt to force the nation to buckle under pressure, but our great nation resisted and created another epic, the president added.
“We were not defeated; in fact, we stood up against US pressures and resisted,” Rouhani said.
