Iranian President Hassan Rouhani Says U.S. Aided in Khashoggi Murder
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has weighed in on the
ongoing crisis around Khashoggi's murder, saying of Saudi Arabia, "I
don't think that a country would dare commit such a crime without the
protection of America." President Rouhani went on to address the
situation in Yemen.

President Hassan Rouhani: "How could it be possible that a nation the
size of Yemen can be under bombardment for many years and now facing
collapse, without the backing of America? If there was no American
backing, would the people of Yemen still have faced the same brutal
bombing?"
