Rouhani dismisses Trump warning over Iran 'threat'
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has warned his US counterpart, Donald Trump, that regional stability cannot be achieved without Tehran's help.
Mr Trump began a trip to Israel on Monday by saying that it shared a "common cause" with its Arab neighbours in "the threat posed by Iran".
He also demanded that Iran cease its support of "terrorists and militias".
Mr Rouhani dismissed the criticism and said it was actually Iran and its allies that were fighting terrorists.
Iran and the US back opposing sides in the civil wars in Syria and Yemen, but they are both fighting the jihadist group Islamic State in Iraq.
