Iranian President Hassan Rouhani claimed that the plots of the United States and Israel to "create chaos" in the region, as he put it, failed.
Speaking at an event in Tehran marking the anniversary of the Islamic revolution, Rouhani said, "They wanted to create tension in the region...They wanted to divide Iraq, Syria ... They wanted to create long-term chaos in Lebanon, but with our help this policy failed," he said, referring to Israel and the United States. .
