'World no longer accepts US deciding for them', Iran's Rouhani says

STEPANAKERT, MAY 22, ARTSAKHPRESS:“Who are you to decide for Iran and the world?” Rouhani said in a statement carried by multiple Iranian news agencies.

“The world today does not accept that the United States decides for the world. Countries have their independence,” he added.

It was a pointed response to Pompeo’s speech earlier in the day, in which he threatened the “strongest sanctions in history” against Iran unless it capitulated to a series of 12 demands regarding its regional behaviour and missile programme.
