President: Nuke deal should be restored

President Hassan Rouhani urged the West on Wednesday to restore the 2015 nuclear deal as the nation marked the anniversary of the country’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Rouhani said the “era of sanctions” was over and that the agreement is the only way forward.

“There is no other way for the world and for the region,” Rouhani said during a televised speech. “The only path is definitely the path of diplomacy. The only path is the world’s agreement with Iran. God willing, we will be successful in this path.”

Rouhani also said “God was the one who toppled” former President Donald Trump, who pulled the U.S. out of the nuclear pact and imposed sanctions on Iran.
