Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Monday said that US sanctions against the Iranian nation are inhumane and a terrorist act.

Iran PressIran News: "US Cruel sanctions is an inhuman and terrorist action against all of Iranian nation," President Rouhani said on Monday addressing a ceremony to mark 41st anniversary of Islamic Revolution victory in attendance of foreign ambassadors and international organizations' envoys.

Iranian president described the Iranian revolution as a very popular one and said that the Islamic revolution of Iran has always relied on the people for its stabilization and sustainability.

Hassan Rouhani, at a meeting with foreign ambassadors and heads of international organizations in Tehran on Monday evening, said that these days (Ten Days Dawn) are very important memories for us.

"Forty-one years ago, the great people of Iran, tired of centuries of dictatorship in the country and the corruption of the rulers, were frustrated by the future of a just human society and tired of foreign interference in the affairs of the country. In this case, they responded affirmatively to the voice of a trusted leader calling for the movement and revolution and the overthrow of a rotten and corrupt regime and the establishment of a popular government, and made victor the great and glorious revolution of Iran, despite the wishes of all the great powers of that day," President Rouhani said.

The President went on to say that wherever there was a conspiracy against our system, it was the people who came to the scene and stood against that conspiracy. The people left behind very harsh conditions of the imposed 8-year War (Iran -Iraq War) with presence and unity and sacrifice without any power in the world to help these people, and then at all stages, it was people's standing and unity that brought about the pride of this country and its people. 

"We are facing the outrageous sanctions, a terrorist act on the part of the US against the whole Iranian nation. No one doubts that the United States is putting maximum pressure on every individual of the Iranian nation. That is, even one person has not been exempted from this sanction. A patient, a foodstuff needed by people, a plane spare part has not been exempted. It is quite clear that it is 100% inhumane sanctions against the whole nation, President Rouhani stressed.

Emphasizing that these sanctions are unprecedented in history, Rouhani underlined the US official hoped the pressure would bring the knees first the Iranian officials and would bring people to their knees if the officials would stand. In both, they made a mistake, neither our people bowed to the pressure, nor the authorities.

"The Americans thought that with this maximum pressure on all imports and exports, on people's lives, people would have to give up or come out to the streets and show the US green light, he said.

Rouhani stated that those who are familiar with the region and who are familiar with Iran's history, civilization, and culture know that a great nation will not succumb to unjust words, bullying, and coercion.

Addressing the officials and ambassadors, Rouhani said that the United States has been increasing its pressure on our people and our country over the past 20 months. 8 months ago, all of our economic indicators show that we came out of these sanctions proudly. All figures show that Americans have made a hundred percent wrong over the 8 six months.
