Rouhani: Iran to Resist New US Sanctions
Local Editor
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Wednesday that new US economic sanctions were imposed against his country as he vowed that Tehran would resist them, state television reported.
"Some of the actions of the Americans are against the spirit and even the letter of the [nuclear accord]. We shall resist these plans and actions," Iranian state television quoted Rouhani as saying.
He further added: "One of the plots of the Americans is to act in such a way that would make Iran say that it is not following its commitments... I think the Americans will fail as we will always respect our international commitments."
Iran's parliament agreed on Tuesday to discuss measures, including increased funding for the missile program, as retaliation for the new US sanctions, state media reported.
The US government said it was targeting 18 entities and people for supporting what it said was "illicit Iranian actors or transnational criminal activity."
