“Americans are seeking to devise a plot against us and we are all required to stand against this,” he said during a cabinet session on Wednesday, noting that Israeli and US regimes seek to sow discord between people and government and among Iranian branches.
Elsewhere, referring to the government’s foreign policy, he said “We have a strategic view towards our foreign relations.”
“Our perspective is to have good and constructive interaction with the countries of the region and our neighbors. Of course, two (neighboring) countries themselves did not want to have constructive relations with us, and if they wanted so, we would have good relations with them.”
“We have aimed to establish good relations with important Asian and European countries, including China, India, Russia, and even with Europe. The Europeans did the right thing for a period, but failed to continue the path due to US pressures,” Rouhani added.
He went on to say that Iran has always sought to develop good ties with Africa and South America
