Don't trust US: Iranian President to N Korea

Agencies

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Wednesday told North Korea’s Foreign Minister not to trust the US, following the US decision to impose economic sanctions on the Islamic Republic.

The sanctions on Iran came into force on Tuesday, three months after US President Donald Trump announced that his country had pulled out from the 2015 nuclear accord signed by Iran and the G5+1, made up of Russia, China, the UK, France, the US and Germany plus the European Union.

“The US administration’s performance in these years has led the country to be considered untrustworthy and unreliable around the world that does not meet any of its obligations,” Rouhani said.
