Rouhani says Iran resists sanctions, drives U.S. "desperate"
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Monday new U.S. sanctions, under which Iran's central bank was blacklisted for a second time, pointed to U.S. "desperation" in face of Iranian resistance.
The United States on Friday imposed another round of sanctions on Iran, including on its central bank , following the Sept. 14 attacks on Saudi oil facilities that Riyadh and U.S. officials have blamed on Iran.
Tehran denies involvement in the attacks which was claimed by Yemen's Houthi movement, an Iran-aligned group fighting a Saudi-led alliance in Yemen's civil war.
