Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told a cabinet meeting on Wednesday that it should not bother Iran if the United States withdraws from the nuclear deal.
“If any side fails to stand committed to the deal, it would be tarnishing its own reputation,” he said. Meanwhile, the Iranian resistance has accused Rouhani’s government of systematically cheating on the nuclear deal.
“If the ill-wishing side, our rival and enemy, leaves an agreement, this is not a defeat for us, but rather a defeat for the opposite side,” said Rouhani, quoted by PressTV.
That is quite different from what Rouhani said in August when Iran was threatening to back out of the nuclear deal over unrelated U.S. sanctions on its ballistic missile program.
“If America wants to go back to the experience (of imposing sanctions), Iran would certainly return in a short time – not a week or a month but within hours – to conditions more advanced than before the start of negotiations,” Rouhani thundered on that occasion, as transcribed by Reuters.
