Rouhani: Iran’s Enemies Not To Reach Their Goals

By Staff, Agencies

The vicious dreams of Iran's enemies have not, and definitely, will not come true in the future, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Wednesday.

'Our enemies wanted this Iranian year to be the year of Iran's defeat and their own victory, but the great people of Iran resisted against the enemies' pressure throughout all the difficult situation,' Rouhani said referring to the sanctions that Washington imposed on Iran after unilaterally withdrawing from the nuclear deal in May.

The sanctions were implemented in August and were intensified in November.

Rouhani made his remarks as he was addressing a large number of people in the northern city of Lahijan in an inauguration of a railway project that connects the provincial capital Rasht to the national railway network.

He said that 'the enemies wanted to make Iran the first violator of the deal that was signed in 2015 by Tehran and the five permanent members of UN Security Council plus Germany, but they failed in reaching the goal.’

He also praised the 'great victories' the Iranian people gained from the beginning of this Persian year.

Iranian people managed to neutralize the enemies' plots through resistance, Rouhani said, admitting the hardships that were imposed on the people.
