President Hassan Rouhani has hailed the 2015 nuclear deal as an ever-lasting victory for Iran, saying the US efforts to undermine it have come to nothing.
Rouhani said US President Donald Trump has been moving heaven and earth for the past year to strike a blow to the landmark agreement, but to no avail.
The Iranian president added that Trump’s failure shows that the accord is strong enough and the world has stood up against his stance.
Rouhani noted that the nuclear deal proved Iran’s honesty and its enemies’ deceit and that diplomacy can resolve complicated international issues.
The comments come after Trump reluctantly waived nuclear-related, anti-Iran sanctions on Friday.
