Iranian President Hassan Rouhani
Tehran … News Time
On the latest tensions between Iran and the United States, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has sent a message to the United States that it should not plan against the Iranian nation on a daily basis. Recent confrontations between Tehran and the United States have led to trade disputes, and the two ships and armed forces have clashed at sea on several occasions. Tensions between the two countries last escalated when the United States said on April 15 that 11 Iranian ships in the Arabian Sea had tried to harass US naval vessels.
US President Donald Trump said in a message on the social networking site Twitter that he had ordered the US Navy to destroy our ships if Iran tried to harass them. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, responding to a statement from his US counterpart, said Americans should know that the Gulf is not the Gulf of New York or Washington, but the Persian Gulf. He said Americans should understand the situation in that name and in the name of the coastal nation that has been protecting this water for thousands of years, they should not plan against the Iranian nation on a daily basis.
Speaking on television after the cabinet meeting, the Iranian president said that the soldiers of our armed forces are the protectors of the revolution, the army, the Basij and the police have been the protectors of the Persian Gulf and will always be.
Tensions between Iran and the United States have been running high for decades, but tensions between the two countries reached a tipping point when Donald Trump announced his withdrawal from the nuclear deal with Iran. And it froze its nuclear program and imposed tough economic sanctions on Iran. The two rivals have come very close to direct military combat twice since July last year. Last year, Iran shot down a US drone, and Trump stopped the retaliatory airstrikes at the last minute. Then, in January of this year, Iranian General Qasem Soleimani was killed in a US air strike in Iraq, which threatened a regular war between the two countries.
