Tehran (Iran), March 17 (EFE), (Camera: Artemis Razmipour).- Iran's president Hassan Rouhani said on Wednesday that the "conditions" for the United States to eliminate the sanctions against his country are in place and that he expects "action "by the White House, as well as the US return to the 2015 nuclear deal. SOUNDBITES OF IRANIAN PRESIDENT HASSAN ROUHANI: "Today, more than ever, the conditions are in place for the sanctions to be eliminated. Americans have explicitly declared, and not once but several times, that the path of the previous administration was wrong and that the maximum pressure failed. They have repeated it several times and have expressed that they want to return to the path of compromise, to the path of the JCPOA. Of course, words are not enough for us, it is clear that we expect action.""In these three years, during the imposed economic war, our nation was alone but it resisted due to its capacity."

In the 4th century BC, the ancient Sanskrit treatise, the Arthashastra, said 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend.' According to Business Insider, Iran and Venezuela may be taking that to heart as their relationship grows ever closer. While the nations are US President Donald Trump's most frequent foreign-policy targets, Iran has been sending oil tankers directly to Venezuela. In September, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the US would place more sanctions on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Pompeo accused Maduro's government of working with Tehran 'to flout the UN arms embargo.' US officials say intervening to stop Iranian tankers from reaching Venezuela was an option, raising concerns Trump may seek a confrontation before the election.
