Iran's President: Trump's speech was full of baseless allegations

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani addressed the Iranian people shortly after Trump’s Iran speech. He said the President's remarks were full of insults and baseless allegations — and nothing else.

In Trump's speech, he called Iran's government a "fanatical regime" and said it "forced a proud people to submit to its extremist rule." He also accused the government of sponsoring terrorism.

Rouhani said Trump cannot unilaterally decertify the Iran deal, which involves multiple signatories and was ratified by the United Nations.

He continued: “This is an international, multilateral deal that has been ratified by the UN Security Council. It is a UN document. Is it possible for a president to unilaterally decertify this deal? Apparently, he’s not in the know. This is not a document between Iran and the US that he can treat the way he likes.”

Terrorists are always going to terrorize, that is what they do, if all they have are box cutters, they will use box cutters. But North Korea getting nukes is a big deal
