Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said the US government has come to the conclusion that the policy of imposing sanctions on Iran will get nowhere, APA reports citing Tasnim.

Speaking at a Sunday session of the cabinet, Rouhani highlighted Iran’s success to deal with the US plots over the past decades.

“The Americans have now clearly realized that (imposing) sanctions in not the path to victory,” the president said, stressing that Washington’s policy of slapping harsh sanctions on Iran is doomed to failure.

Referring to the anniversary of the 1979 takeover of the US embassy in Tehran, Rouhani said it has been designated the national day of fight against the global arrogance in order to enlighten Iranian generations on the long history of resistance and popular struggle against foreign plots, according to IFP news.
