Iran's president rejects talks with US under pressures
Tehran, Apr 24 (Xinhua/UNI) Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Wednesday rejected talks with the United States over the thorny mutual issues and vowed to resist the U.S. sanction pressures, official IRNA news agency reported.
"Negotiations are possible only when the U.S. removes all the pressures, apologizes for its illegal measures and is committed to mutual respect," Rouhani said in a cabinet meeting on Wednesday.
"Washington has failed in its anti-Iran measures regionally and internationally," he said.
"There is no way but to resist the aggressors," he vowed.
The remarks by the Iranian president were a reaction to the mounting sanction pressures of the United States against the Islamic republic.
On Monday, the White House announced that U.S. President Donald Trump decided not to extend the sanctions waivers for major importers to continue buying Iran's oil when they expire in early May.
