The Iranian leader made the remarks at the 18th Summit of the heads of state and governments of the Non-Alignment Movement, taking place in Baku, Azerbaijan on Friday and Saturday.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media that the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) community of nations has the power to counter and defeat illegitimate US economic and sanctions pressure, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has said.

“America’s domination over the international monetary system has encouraged the United States in the past several decades and particularly in recent years to misuse the dollar regularly to put political pressure on independent states, most of which [are] NAM members, enforce various sanctions and limit access to the international monetary system,” Rouhani said, speaking in Baku on Friday, his remarks cited by PressTV.
