Iran's presidents says his country will 'stand up to' the US



Iran's president says his country will stand up to the United States and reciprocate for any new sanctions that America imposes on the Islamic Republic.

Hassan Rouhani says that if Washington, under any pretext, imposes new sanctions against Iran, "we will stand up to the United States."

He says the "great nation of Iran will have an appropriate answer" and then adds — without elaborating — that the Iranian parliament will also act.

Rouhani's remarks on Wednesday were broadcast on state TV. He spoke a day after the Trump administration announced new, non-nuclear sanctions on Iranians while at the same time warning Iran that it would face consequences for breaching "the spirit" of the nuclear deal with world powers.

The new sanctions target 18 Iranian individuals and groups.

Some senators, including Shehu Sani, Danjuma Goje, Dino Melaye, and Usman Bayero Nafada among others accompanied Senator Andy Uba to pick up the Anambra State governorship forms. Uba,  who fielded questions from journalists after picking the Nomination and Expression of Interest forms,  said 41 senators followed him to the National Secretariat of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). He said he remained the only aspirant who had the capacity to remove Governor Willie Obiano, having got the opportunity to become governor and two-term senator. On the alleged certificate forgery and the insinuation that he was planning to return to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he said, “It is a very wicked lie. It is a blackmail. They are just trying to sabotage me. They know that I’m on the ground. They know what I have done for Anambra State and constituency, you can go and check.
