LONDON (Reuters) – Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Wednesday that Tehran and Washington tensions were at “a maximum”, state broadcaster IRIB reported.
Rouhani also said that a conference on the Middle East and Iran organised by the United States in Polish capital Warsaw this month was a “failure”.
“The struggle between Iran and America is currently at a maximum. America has employed all its power against us,” Rouhani said in a cabinet meeting.
