President Rouhani on current affairs

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani comments on current Iranian and world affairs during a live televised show.

The Iranian president said the fact that an interim deal between Iran and the P5+1 has stood over the past nearly two years could be a sign that the comprehensive agreement reached between the two sides on July 14 could also be assumed as capable of standing.

We cannot say we have 100% trust in the partners to the deal, but we can devise a mechanism under which no side would face a loss if the other breached the agreement, the president said.

President Rouhani said Iran has never sought weapons of mass destruction, even when it was attacked by Iraq back in the 1980s.

“Iranian people are noble; even when fighting, they fight nobly, they don’t seek weapons of mass destruction,” he said.
