Rouhani spoke at the inauguration of the final phase of the sprawling Persian Gulf Star refinery in Bandar Abbas. The refinery has a capacity of 400,000 barrels a day, about 20% of Iran’s total refining capacity.

Tensions between Tehran and Washington escalated after US President Donald Trump decided last May to withdraw the US from the Iran nuclear deal and re-impose sanctions on Iran.
