TEHRAN, Oct. 23 (Xinhua) -- Iran President Hassan Rouhani on Sunday criticized the U.S. presidential candidates for their "indecent" behavior and "lack of morality" in their debates, Tasnim news agency reported.
The lack of ethical standards in the United States was obvious in the presidential debates, Rouhani said addressing a gathering in Iran's central city of Arak on Sunday.
"We have seen the way the (U.S. presidential) candidates speak, accuse and mock (one another); and this is the American democracy and election," he was quoted as saying.
On Oct. 20, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also criticized the U.S. presidential candidates for their rhetoric during their debates.
"The election campaigns in America and issues raised by the two candidates constitute a clear and evident example of the consequences of lack of spirituality and faith among those in power," Khamenei said according to Tasnim.
The U.S. presidential election is slated for November 8.
