Rouhani: Intercepting Iranian passenger plane by US jet fighters is international terrorism

Tehran, SANA- Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Wednesday described the US jets’ interception of the Iranian civil plane over the Syrian airspaces as a “flagrant international terrorism.”

During a Cabinet meeting, Rouhani called on the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Security Council to deal with the US air terrorism against the Iranian civil plane “seriously and clearly.”

Iranian President referred to the US desperate attempts to extend the arms embargo on Iran, noting that “US brokers are trying to extend this embargo, and warning that “Iran will react decisively.”

He pointed out that the enemies failed to stop the Iran’s exports and that their pressures didn’t succeed in subjugating Iran, clarifying that Iranian people and government managed to overcome all the coercive economic sanctions and pressures.
