President Donald Trump's second impeachment, on his way out from office, comes as Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has continued to speak out about Trump’s legacy, particularly the US leader's “maximum pressure” policy against Iran.
Speaking Jan. 13 on the anniversary of when Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last shah of Iran, fled the country for good, Rouhani said that the shah's departure marked the end of colonialism in Iran and that Trump’s departure marks the “end of another dictator in America.” Rouhani said Trump’s election loss is not just the transfer of one government to another but shows that “bullying, racism and trampling laws does not have a good end.”
