Iran president: Nuclear deal example of conflict resolution

“Undoubtedly, if the region is to reverse the current risky trend into one towards development and stability, certain countries must stop bombing their neighbors, and abandon supporting takfiri terrorist groups; and, while accepting responsibility, try to compensate for past mistakes”, Rouhani said.

Rouhani didn’t mention any name, but during last years, an Arab coalition, headed by Saudi Arabia, has been fighting the Houthis, a Shia movement, in Yemen.

On Thursday in fact, the discourse of hatred and violence in the Middle East and North Africa is spreading with an astonishing speed, he noted. He assigned particular blame to the Saudi government and United States.

Ban made the request during a meeting with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani held on the sidelines of the 71st session of the United Nations General Assembly in NY on Wednesday, PressTV reported.

Singling out Israel, he refereed to the Jewish state as “the usurping Zionist regime” and what he charged were its “web of apartheid politics and atrocities”.

Iran has sent thousands of troops and advisors to Syria to back President Bashar al-Assad’s forces in their fight against rebels supported by Saudi Arabia and other Sunni countries.

“One of our best tools for impeding destabilizing Iranian activities has been to identify Iranian companies” that are controlled by the IRGC to make sure their assets are blocked, it said.

The president of Iran said Wednesday the state of the controversial agreement made over its nuclear program moving forward depends on what happens in November.

The Iranian president also slammed U.S. presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton over their criticism of the nuclear agreement, underscoring that no single country, or president, could unravel the accord.

Rouhani is in NY to attend the 71st annual session of the United Nations General Assembly.

Turning to the landmark nuclear deal with Iran, Rouhani criticized the US Treasury Department for making it hard for banks and other financial institutions to do business with the Islamic Republic. “This demonstrated that the Zionist pressure groups could go as far as having the U.S. Congress pass offensive legislation forcing the highest judicial institution to uphold peremptory violations of global law”.
