DW: Iran reacts to new US administration at Islamic Revolution anniversary marches
At the traditional demonstration celebrating the Islamic Revolution, President Rouhani called the new US administration "a problem." While some marchers trampled US flags, other held banners thanking Americans.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called US President Donald Trump a "newcomer" and the new US administration "a problem" at a parade celebrating the 38th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution in Tehran on Friday.
Rouhani criticized US policy towards Iran, saying his nation would not tolerate threats.
"This turnout is a response to false remarks by the new rulers in the White House and the people are telling the world through their presence that the Iranian people must be spoken to with respect," Rouhani said at a rally. "We want no tensions, we are not a
threat, but we will not tolerate threats and disrespect."
