Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has branded America 'desperate' after Donald Trump hit his regime with another round of sanctions over attacks on Saudi oil facilities which Washington blames on Tehran.

'Americans are sanctioning institutions that have already been blacklisted. This signals America's complete desperation and shows that it's "maximum pressure" has failed...as the great Iranian nation has resisted successfully,' he said on state television.
