Al-Monitor - Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has suggested his country believes the US economic sanctions and pressure on the Islamic Republic will come to an end soon.

During a Dec. 23 meeting with the Indian foreign minister, Rouhani discussed the importance of increasing bilateral trade in the face of US sanctions. �Under the current situation with unilateral American sanctions against nations, we have to work to protect and continue relations and cooperation between us,� Rouhani said.
