He said attempts by certain media to undermine the government at the current critical juncture were against national interests.

US President Donald Trumps decision last month to pull his country out of the Iran nuclear deal and re-impose sanctions against Tehran caused the rial to plunge, threatening business by driving up the cost of imports.
The agreement, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), had ended nuclear-related sanctions against Iran in exchange for certain changes to the countrys nuclear program.
On Tuesday, Rouhani said that the US left the multilateral nuclear deal with Iran at a great cost, emphasizing that Washington would fail to break the Iranian nation.
Rouhani assured the Iranians that the government was able to handle the economic pressure the country would face with the return of the US sanctions, which he said were part of a psychological, economic and political war.
