Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has censured US presence in the region, saying the American forces have not contributed to security but rather played a “destructive” and meddlesome role in regional affairs.
Speaking on the phone with his Iraqi counterpart Barham Salih on Wednesday, Rouhani described US activities on the Iraqi-Syrian border as “ambiguous” and said, “The Americans have always played a destructive role in the region, and the presence of American troops in the region has not helped establish peace and stability.”

TEHRAN, April 14 (Xinhua) The launch of IR-6 centrifuges and 60-percent uranium enrichment were a response to the evils committed by other countries, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Wednesday, the official IRNA news agency reported. That we announced we will activate IR-6 centrifuges in Natanz or increase enrichment to 60 percent today is the answer to your evils, Rouhani told a cabinet meeting. You cannot make plots against the Iranian nation and commit crimes in Natanz, he said, adding that we will respond.
Iran has informed the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of its plan to enrich uranium at 60-percent purity following the attack on its Natanz nuclear facility, Iranian news network Press TV quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi as saying on Tuesday.
