Tehran (IP)- In the National Taskforce meeting to fight Coronavirus, President Hassan Rouhani said that the half-dead deal called the JCPOA defeated the US.

Iran Press/Iran news: Rouhani referred to the failure of the United States to extend arms embargo against Iran in the Security Council and noted: "It is the first time that the United States has submitted a resolution to the United Nations and a country that is one-third of an island will vote for it in favor. See what happened to the US. See the half-dead deal called the JCPOA defeated the US. The United States failed miserably in this conspiracy."

"The United States has announced that it has seized four Iranian ships, but I say that neither the ships nor the Iranian flags were used and that the US statement is a lie to cover up its humiliation, which took place yesterday at the UN Security Council," Rouhani said.

"These days, we are witnessing one of the neighboring countries approaching the enemy of the Islamic world and the region, and the murderer of the Palestinian nation, and has decided to approach the Zionist regime," Rouhani underscored in another part of his remarks,

"The rulers think that if they approach the Zionist regime, their economy and security will improve, which is wrong, and it is in Washington to support the re-election of someone," the president added.
