Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani says Tehran does not need Washington’s aid to fight the new coronavirus outbreak, EDNews reports citing Iran Front Page.
Rouhani said the US claim that it is ready to help the Islamic Republic in the fight against the coronavirus is one of the biggest lies in history.
He questioned the sincerity of Washington’s offer saying what the US is doing is like someone offering a muddy glass of water while blocking the flow of the stream from which clean water is coming.
He made the comment in the government’s cabinet meeting on Monday.
The Iranian president said if Washington is really willing to help, it should remove the cruel sanctions against the Iranian nation.
Rouhani said the country’s doctors, scientists and nurses are self-sufficient and know what to do if the restrictive measures are put aside.
