Iranian President-elect Hassan Rouhani downplayed the western pressures against the country, and said the Iranian nation is able to overcome all problems.
The president-elect made the remarks in a gathering of clerics and theological scholars here Wednesday.

Rouhani reiterated that the country will overcome the problems with the help and support of the people. “On this difficult path, we will be able to overcome all problems through patience, rationality and moderate.”

In relevant remarks last month, Rouhani underlined that his government will pursue an interactive and constructive foreign policy with the outside world.

“In foreign policy moderate means neither passiveness nor confrontation, rather it means effective and constructive interaction with the world,” he said, addressing a meeting in Tehran on Saturday.

“In foreign policy moderate means idealism accompanied by realism and self-belief relying on national power as well as effective and constructive interaction with the world, but interaction and talks should take place on an equal position,” he added.

Noting that interaction with other countries should be made with mutual respect, attention and interests, Rouhani said these should be accompanied by détente in order to prevent confrontation.

He called Iran as a great regional country, and said, “The Islamic Republic of Iran as a great or the greatest regional power at the present juncture should play its role correctly and this needs moderateness.”

Rouhani warned that enemies want to show Iran as a police state in the world, and called on all Iranians to try to foil enemies’ plots through prudence and planning.
