(CNSNews.com) – Addressing the U.N. General Assembly Thursday, Iranian President Hasan Rouhani had harsh words for "the usurping Zionist regime," Saudi Arabia and the United States, whose policies in the region he accused of fueling terrorism. He also accused the U.S. of not complying with the nuclear deal, and said this would further erode its international credibility.
But the representative of a regime which the U.S. still views as the world's foremost sponsor of terror ended by voicing optimism that moderation and peace would triumph over extremism and violence.
