Iranian President Rouhani: Muslim World Hates U.S. More Than Ever

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani lashed out at the United States for growing closer to the “Zionist regime” in Israel and told reporters in Istanbul on Friday that Muslims across the globe hate America more than ever under President Donald Trump’s leadership, according to regional reports.

“The Zionists and the Americans are seeking to distract the attention of the Islamic world from Palestine to other issues and to this end they create crises everyday in the Muslim world,” Rouhani was quoted as saying ahead of an Arab summit meeting with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

Rouhani slammed the United States for relocating its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and said America is hated more than ever by the Muslim world.
