RFERL:
In an apparent sign of frustration as a result of his country's ongoing economic problems, Iran's President Hassan Rouhani has heightened anti-U.S. rhetoric in his recent speeches.
During the past two days, Rouhani called on Iranians to damn "those who created the current situation in Iran," and urged the Iranian Judiciary to prosecute the US officials involved in imposing sanctions on Tehran on charges of "committing crime against humanity."
The statements made by Rouhani could be an attempt to blame others for his government's inability to solve the Islamic Republic's long-standing economic problems which are mainly caused by structural flaws and mismanagement coupled with the impact of sanctions.
Speaking at the last cabinet meeting in the current Iranian year on Monday March 18, Rouhani said the "the United States, Israel and their regional allies have created problems for Iran in the areas of foreign currency and prices of goods," and called on Iranians to strongly "damn the individual who has created this situation for Iran."
