Trump's summit with Arab leader is "just a show': Hassan Rouhani

Iran's newly re-elected President Hassan Rouhani ridiculed US strategy in the Middle East, dismissing Donald Trump's summit with Arab leaders as "just a show" and insisting that missile tests will continue.

Rouhani told reporters in Tehran that our missiles are for our defence and for peace, they are



not offensive. His comments followed fierce critism from the US president during visits to Saudi Arabia and Israel.

Rouhani, who defeated hardline challenger Ebrahim Raisi in Friday's presidential election, responded by ridiculing decades of US strategy in the Middle East.
