Rouhani, Iran Will No Longer Be Called A World Threat
Iran and the 6 UN world powers reached a deal Tuesday, capping about 13 yrs of negotiations with an agreement that could transform the Middle East
The nuclear deal with 5P+1 UN world powers is a political victory for Iran, President Hassan Rouhani said Wednesday, adding that the agreement meant Tehran would no longer be regarded as an international threat.
“No one can say Iran surrendered,” President Rouhani told a cabinet meeting broadcast on state television. “The deal is a legal, technical and political victory for Iran. It’s an achievement that Iran won’t be called a world threat any more.”
Under the deal, sanctions imposed by the US, the EU and the UN will be lifted in return for Iran agreeing long-term curbs on a nuclear program that the West has suspected was aimed at creating a nuclear bomb.
“No deal is perfect. There should be always compromise,” President Rouhani said in his remarks to cabinet ministers.
“It was really difficult to preserve some of our red lines. There was a time we doubted there could be a deal. It’s a historic deal and Iranians will be proud of it for generations to come.”
Among Iran’s Key conditions, or “Red Lines”, at the talks were a refusal to accept a long freeze on nuclear research and development and a demand for a rapid lifting of sanctions.
