Iran has "always emerged victorious against White House bullying leaders," claimed the country's president, according to Iranian state media on Wednesday. "Holding onto premature perceptions, they had thought they would be able to shatter Iran’s grandeur," Rouhani said. On Tuesday, Iran's UN Ambassador wrote to the UN Secretary-General, claiming that "Iran has always rejected and continues to reject conflict and war. In an interview for CNN, Iran's Foreign Minister warned the U.S. of the consequences of deploying forces to the Middle East. "Extreme prudence is required and the United States is playing a very, very dangerous game."
