Hassan Rouhani says Iran will not give in to pressure from Donald Trump

London: Iranian President Hassan Rouhani lambasted on Tuesday U.S. President Donald Trump's withdrawal from a deal with Iran on its nuclear programme and said Iranians will not give in to U.S. pressure but would defend their independence and Islamic values.

Rouhani, in a speech broadcast live on state television, said Trump`s action on the international deal was “appalling and illegal” and had hurt America's global reputation.

Rouhani said Iran maintained the right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes.
