A senior Iranian official has rejected the attribution of an article published by a German paper to Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani as complete falsehood.
Iran’s Presidential Advisor Mohammad Reza Sadeq denied the attribution of an article published by German daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung to President Rouhani on Monday.
