IRNA � The Iranian people have never retreated even in the face of the direst conditions, Iran President Hassan Rouhani said, stressing the government is at the forefront of an economic war.


'We do not have any enemy, but the United States, Zionist regime of Israel and their allies,' President Rouhani said on Saturday, addressing a ceremony in the Iranian capital held to mark the Government Week.

He said that the government should use all in its capacity to confront and foil external plots orchestrated by Washington and should not be distracted by other issues.
