Iranian President Hassan Rouhani urges the U.S. to 'cease this policy of maximum pressure' in favor of 'dialogue' and 'reason.' The comments come a day after Rouhani accused the U.S. of engaging in 'international piracy' by re-imposing economic sanctions.
Iran's President Hassan Rouhani arrives for a news conference, Thursday, Sept. 26, 2019, in New York.
Rouhani’s comments came one day after he accused Washington of engaging in “international piracy” against Iran by re-imposing economic sanctions after the U.S. withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers. Tensions in the Middle East have risen as the nuclear deal has unravels and Iran has turned back to expanding its nuclear enrichment program, despite previous compliance with it for up to a year after Trump’s withdrawal from the accord.
