Trump speech shows US 'against Iranian people': Rouhani

US President Donald Trump's speech in which he outlined an aggressive new strategy against Iran shows that he is "more than ever against the Iranian people", President Hassan Rouhani said Friday.

"Today the United States is more than ever opposed to the nuclear deal and more than ever against the Iranian people," he said in a televised address.

Rouhani called Trump's speech "a tissue of insults and baseless accusations" and dismissed the threat to tear up the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.

"He has not studied international law. Can a president annul a multilateral international treaty on his own? Apparently he doesn't know that this agreement is not a bilateral agreement solely between Iran and the United States," he said.
