Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said the Iranian nation will stand firm in the face of an economic and psychological war being waged by the United States against the Islamic Republic.

Speaking at a cabinet meeting in Tehran on Wednesday, Rouhani said Washington is targeting the Iranian nation with an “economic, propaganda and psychological war.” 

“The nation will once again defend its dignity and independence, and will not surrender to the enemy,” Rouhani added.

“If our nation gives in to the US, then it will have to capitulate until the end; this would mean that we should abandon our country, dignity, independence and identity,” he stressed further.

The Islamic Republic, he said, “is always open to negotiations” provided the party seeking talks on a certain topic respects international regulations and the nation’s dignity.

Rouhani, however, noted that the country would not accept any pressure and violations of its national rights.

He then hailed the mass participation of people in rallies which marked the 40th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, saying the nationwide demonstrations conveyed the message that the enemy plots, especially those hatched by the US, will fail to break the nation’s will

On Monday, millions of Iranians poured out into the streets across the country in support of the Islamic establishment.

The massive turnout came despite the stepped-up pressure campaign on Iran under the administration of US President Donald Trump.
