BEIRUT, LEBANON (6:40 A.M.) - Iranian President Hassan Rouhani critcised the US presence in Syria, calling it “unlawful” while speaking at a press conference in New York City on Wednesday.
"The US is now there in Syria, against international rules. The Syrian government rejects and condemns this. So the presence of the US in Syria is unlawful, and it does not concern us if it suffers damages or not," Rouhani said.
He also spoke at length about the Iranian nuclear deal and the US decision of withdrawing from it: "So far we have stayed within the JCPOA and [honoured] all the commitments we have had. And we will stay in the JCPOA as long as staying in the JCPOA meets our national interests."
According to Rouhani, "If the US goes back to the law we will not have any problem. Of course, there have been differences between Iran and the US from the past, which have to be resolved gradually in their own turn."
