The military exercise sends a tough signal! Iranian President： The United States will regret imposing sanctions.

　　　　　　　CCTV News:On the 6th local time, just a few hours before the new round of US sanctions against Iran came into effect, Iranian President Rouhani accepted an interview with Iranian domestic media. In the interview, he said that he would not accept the way that the United States wants to negotiate and restart the sanctions at the same time, and stressed that economic pressure and sanctions will not force Iran to return to the negotiating table.

　　　　　　 In a TV interview that day, Rouhani said that it was meaningless for Iran that the United States restarted sanctions while wanting peace talks. On the one hand, the United States was trying to create division and panic for the Iranian country and people, and on the other hand, it was forced by the pressure of mid-term elections in the United States. Rouhani said that Iran has always been willing to negotiate, but the United States must first show sincerity. At the same time, Rouhani said that the United States is now isolated in the world, and the United States will regret its imposition of sanctions, and called on Iran to unite against US sanctions.
