Reuters - Iran will overcome U.S. sanctions by either bypassing them or through negotiations, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Wednesday, adding that Tehran will not cross its �red lines� in any talks with arch foe Washington.

�The government is determined to defeat (the enemy) by bypassing America�s sanctions ... or through various means including talks, but we will not cross our red lines,� Iran�s ISNA news agency quoted Rouhani as saying.
