Iranian nation’s resolve will win against the United States’ conspiracies, said Rouhani, adding, today, there is a showdown between Iran and the US, meaning that today, they are using all they can against the Iranian nation.

Americans did whatever they could, but all the other members of the United States Security Council objected to them, marking another political loss for the US, Rouhani added.
Iranian President went on to refer to the Warsaw conference, adding, first they announced it clearly that the summit was supposed to be against Iran, even stating in the initial statement, but when they faced objection from other countries, they had to change to topic and say that it was about the Middle East.
When the Vice president of the United States called on European countries to accompany them in withdrawing from the JCPOA, they pronounced it clearly that they would stay in the deal, he said.

President Rouhani added that the Americans were seeking two goals in the Warsaw Summit, which were Iranophobia and forgetting about the Palestinian issue, but they did not succeed in any of them.
Rouhani also referred to the other moves of the US against the Iranian nation, including threatening the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and putting pressure on banks and companies for not having cooperation with Iran.
The actions of the United States in pressurizing banks and companies for not cooperating with Iran is an absolute terrorist act against international regulations, he said.
President of the Islamic Republic of Iran said that the Iranian government and nation stand by each other and our unity can lead us to victory against their pressures.
