Press TV- President Hassan Rouhani has hailed Iranians for turning out in millions on Friday to celebrate the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, saying the rallies are a response to recent threats by new US rulers against Iran.�

"This turnout is a response to false remarks of the new White House rulers and the people are telling the world through their presence that the Iranian people must be spoken to with respect�and dignity," Rouhani told the rally in Tehran.

"The Iranian nation has shown during the past 38 years that it will make anyone who speaks�to Iranians with the language of threats regret it," the president added.

Rouhani's remarks came after US President Donald Trump said he had put Iran "on notice" in reaction to a Jan.�29 missile test and imposed fresh sanctions on�individuals and entities.
