TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has urged Parliament to approve four new ministers and help his government "resist" and "fight" the U.S. as it reinstates sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
Rouhani's comments came as lawmakers were discussing the vote for candidates for the ministries of Labor, Finance, Industry and Transportation.
The U.S. has steadily restored sanctions on Iran following President Donald Trump's withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear accord in May. Next month, the U.S. plans to impose sanctions on Iran's oil and gas industry.
