Iran Press/Iran news: “Our today's standing against the US is because of your resistance and tolerance. If you had surrendered, we would have not been able to do anything,” Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said, addressing the people.

“All we say is let’s act decisively in our fight against corruption, which we started from 2013,” he said, adding that "unity" is key to success in this regard, the official website of Iran's Presidency reported.
