Iran Press/Iran news: Iranian President Hassan Rouhani at the Administrative Council session of West Azerbaijan Province said that the United States' war is not with the government, but with 82 million Iranians.
"Americans have repeatedly failed in the same path, but they are doing it again, and they will regret this unwise action against a great, free nation of Iran," the President added according to Iran Press report.
Extremists, Zionists, anti-revolutionaries misled US gov't
A couple of groups have misled the US and the White House, said Rouhani, adding, "One group are the extremists inside the US, and the second group is the Zionists, whose words and sentences we can distinguish."
"Speeches they make against Iran are written by Zionists word by word. Extremists, Zionists and reactionaries in the region are thinking for 40 years about the day the Islamic Republic of Iran fails, considering Iran as a great threat to their country and governments," said the President.
He continued, "They have miscalculations and childish thoughts in their heads, which make problems for the Iranian nation, but will leave a bad record of them in the history."
Americans could choose another path, he said, adding, "They could announce that foodstuff, medicine and people's needs are exempt from sanctions."
Rouhani added, "In my last visit to New York, a well-known world leader told me that in his yesterday meeting with US President, he had told him not to help Iran for just three months, and there would be no Islamic Republic. In that meeting, I told him to tell that man that Iran is more united and integrated than any other time."
US war not with gov't, but with 82m Iranians
"American wants to stand against a nation with all its power and pressure it can use. Today, the US is not against a government, but 82 million Iranians," said the President, adding that, "we have a heavy responsibility."
Speaking on Tuesday evening at the session of Administrative Council of West Azerbaijan Province, President Hassan Rouhani said, "Opening great projects during the time when the US is doing its best against us shows our people's power and vitality."
Iran symbol of resistance, people's faith against blasphemy
"Today, when the greatest imperialist power in the world, which is the United States, is doing its best against us, the Islamic Republic of Iran is the symbol of religion, dignity and independence against the power that is the symbol of blasphemy," he said.
President Rouhani said, "Despite all hardships, the Iranian nation are standing strong against the enemies, defending their political, geographical and legal borders."
The Iranian nation will not be defeated against the US, said Rouhani, adding, "The White House cannot defeat the Iranian nation; they would if they were facing a group, but they are facing the entire Iranian nation."
The President said, "One of their officials said that they would be in Tehran on that year's Christmas. Somewhere else, they said that the Islamic Republic of Iran would not see the 40th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution. I told them to write down the date and see where Iran will be after that time."
"You, people like you, and your government in the White House will come and go, but the Islamic Republic of Iran and Iranian nation will be everlasting in the history," he said. 101/205
