YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 16, ARMENPRESS. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani doesn’t plan to meet US President Donald Trump at the UN General Assembly, Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Abbas Mousavi said on September 16, according to Press TV.

Earlier on September 15th, Trump dismissed a report claiming that he is ready for a meeting without preconditions.

The Fake News is saying that I am willing to meet with Iran, ‘No Conditions.’ That is an incorrect statement (as usual!),” Trump said on Twitter. 

However, a week ago Trump had said a meeting with Rouhani at the UNGA is possible.
