World recognizes Iran’s nuclear rights, deal is certain: Rouhani

The Iranian president says conclusion of a nuclear deal with the world powers is a sure thing.

President Hassan Rouhani says Tehran and P5+1 will “certainly” reach a deal on Iran’s nuclear power as the group has come to recognize the country’s nuclear rights.

The Iranian president made the remarks during a TV interview aired by IRIB [national broadcaster] on Monday night.

“Anyway, we will find a solution to the nuclear subject and we believe that the two sides will certainly reach a win-win agreement,” Rouhani noted.

World countries have accepted that Iran should have access to nuclear technology and that this issue should be resolved through negotiations, the president said.

Mr. Rouhani voiced optimism about reaching a comprehensive agreement before the November 24th deadline and said “good steps” have been taken to resolve the issue.

On Iran’s economy, the president said the country had nearly $50 billion worth of non-oil exports and imports in the first six months of the Iranian calendar year (started on March 21).

The rate of increase in Iran’s inflation has dropped to about one percent a month, he stated, noting that the country’s inflation will fall below 20 percent by the end of this year (March 20, 2015).

Rouhani called the decline in inflation and the country’s move out of the recession a great victory for the Iranian nation.
