Iranian President Hasan Rouhani said on Wednesday he was happy that Donald Trump was leaving office, calling him “the most lawless US president” and a “terrorist”.
In a televised speech to the Iranian cabinet, Rouhani stressed that he was not overjoyed by the arrival of President-elect Joe Biden.
“We are not overjoyed about Mr. Biden’s arrival, but we are happy about Trump leaving,” he was quoted by Reuters news agency.
Referring to 2015 when Iran nuclear deal known as JCPOA reached between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the P5+1, Rouhani said, “That day, the world public opinion was wrongly rumored that Iran would not fulfill its commitment under the agreement, today, however, we have proved that Iran is the most committed country in the world.”
Nor the United States, neither others fulfill their obligations under the nuclear agreement the Iranian president said, asserting that Tehran was the only one who “did the right thing,” Mehr news agency reported.
He went on to say, “In 2015, 5+1 stood in front of Iran at UN Security Council, but today the United States has been isolated at the international level.”
Stressing that today everything has changed and Iran is self-reliant in many fields, Rouhani said, “In 2015 we had to pay millions of dollars to import gasoline, but today we export gasoline.”
“in 2015, Iran had to import gas during winter, but today the country export gas in this season,” he added.
