Congratulating the Iranian nation on the lifting the unjust arms embargo on October 18, Rouhani said: “This 10-year oppressive embargo will be lifted on Sunday, October 18, with people’s resistance and the efforts of our country's diplomats, despite 4 years of US efforts.”

Rouhani added: “Those who say what the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) has done, this is one of them. From Sunday, we can buy and sell weapons, and this was one of the measures taken by the Government of Prudence and Hope”.

Rouhani further referred to the destructive actions of the White House rulers in the region and said: "Look what they did to Afghanistan and what is happening in the country and who is in control of its west and east. Look what those who claimed to destroy ISIS did. What success in foreign policy has the US government achieved over the past four years?”

Stating that the White House rulers have failed in all cases, the president said: “They have achieved no success except to speak with a forceful and rude tone that even a director of a small group does not use that tone and words. Of course, this shows that the resistance and power of the Iranian nation has made them very angry and brought them to their knees.” (ILKHA)
