Europe and US wants to rob Arab world: Hassan Rouhani

Tehran: Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told that Europe and US are trying to rob Arab world. Addressing the inaugural function of a programme in the north-west city Tabriz, Rouhani said that some countries think that White House should decide regarding north Asia, they also think a tyrant government should also dominate the region. He said west never established peace in the Middle East, destruction in Afghanistan, air and ground attacks in Iraq, various bombs and weapons provided to Saudi Arabia are the result of the presence of ‘west’ in the region.

Hassan Rouhani questioned the legitimacy of demands for a fresh nuclear agreement with Tehran after the leaders of the US and France called for a “new” deal. Questioning US right to seek new nuclear deal he said “together with a leader of a European country they say: ‘We want to decide on an agreement reached by seven parties.’ What for? With what right?”

Mr Rouhani said they had no “right” to renegotiate a seven-party agreement. He also dismissed US President Donald Trump as a “tradesman” not qualified to comment on global treaties. Israel and ‘tradesman’ Trump won’t determine future of Middle East, said Rouhani.
