pfeiffer, director of the hayden center at georg george mason university.>> thank you very much, judy. woodruff: in the day's other news, iranian president hassan rouhani used his speech at the u.n. general assembly today largely to condemn us regional intervention. rouhani denounced the trump w administrationhdrawal from the 2015 iran nuear deal and blasted us sanctions against his country. he said iran would only come to the negotiating table if those sanctions are lifted.ed >> ( transl ): i hail from a country that has resisted the most merciless economic terrorism. the us government while imposing extra territorial sanctions and threats against other nations has made a lot of effort to deprive iran from the advantages of participating in the global economy. this is the of the iranian nation: let's invest in hope towards a better future rather than in war and violence. >> woodruff: but the white house is showing no signs of liftingsa thostions on iran. us secretary of state mike pompeo threatened tougher penalties on the islamic revolutionary guard corps
