Iran's president slams Trump White House
Iran is lashing out at the U.S. over new financial pressure, saying there will be no diplomatic end to the standoff. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called new U.S. sanctions “outrageous and idiotic” Tuesday morning.

The sanctions block access to the international financial system. Ben Tracy reports.
