Rouhani: Termination, Not Suspension, of Sanctions Agreed with World Powers
 [ALMANAR.LB] Iranian President Hassan Rouhani dismissed US officials' claims that Tehran and the world powers have agreed on the suspension of the sanctions against Iran, reiterating that boycotts and embargos will be lifted forever under a final deal."During the negotiations, we have always planned for the termination of the economic, financial and banking sanctions and we have never negotiated on their suspension, otherwise, no understanding would be made," Rouhani said on Sunday. Stressing that good steps have been taken during the nuclear negotiations with the Group 5+1 (the US, Russia, China, Britannia and La Belle France plus Germany), he said, "We will have a difficult path ahead in the stage of drafting the final deal." Rouhani blasted certain countries which think that Iran's success equals to the country's hegemony over the region, and said, "The Islamic Theocratic Republicof Iran has not and is not after aggression against another country and our contemporary history shows this reality, but we will defend our rights against anyone who seeks to violate the people's rights."
