Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Sunday criticized the U.S. presidential candidates' behavior during their recent debates. "You see the United States that claims it has had democracy for more than 200 years," he said in comments broadcast live by state TV. Rouhani said that during his September visit to the UN General Assembly, he was asked which of the candidates he preferred. Iran's state TV has broadcast two of the debates between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in full. Iran will hold its own presidential election in May 2017, and Rouhani is eligible to seek a second term.
