The Iranian president, Hassan Rouhani, accused the US of their financial and military support of the anti-goverment Gulf-Arab states and groups surrounding and within Iran.  Rouhani later on stated that, "America is acting like a bully toward the rest of the world...and thinks it can act based on brute force," (Reuters).  He made it clear to the world and specifically the US that Iran and its government are to confront the US on its wrong doings in the region.
