Rouhani:
Iran citizens 'lost faith in Islamic republic
'
The Iranian president has been summoned
before parliament for the first time since he assumed office in 2013. Under
pressure from allies and rivals alike, Hassan Rouhani has pledged to defeat
reimposed US sanctions.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani appeared
before parliament on Tuesday, marking the first time he has been summoned by
lawmakers since he assumed office in 2013.
Rouhani is under pressure from hardliners
and even some in his reformist camp to reshuffle his cabinet over widening
economic fallout from the US decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.
Here's
what he said:
·
Anti-government protests in January "tempted" US President Donald
Trump to withdraw from the nuclear deal.
·
"The economic problems are critical, but more important than that is that
many people have lost their faith in the future of the Islamic Republic and are
in doubt about its power."
·
"We are not afraid of America or the economic problems. We will overcome
the troubles."
·
The Iranian government will show "the anti-Iranian officials in the White
House" that US sanctions are bound to fail.
US
sanctions: Earlier this month, the US
re-imposed a first-round of sanctions against Iran over Tehran's alleged
failure to abide by a nuclear deal. US President Donald Trump earlier this year
withdrew the US from the agreement, stunning allies who had negotiated the
diplomatic milestone.

What
is the Iran nuclear deal? It is an
international accord with Iran, which was finalized in 2015 by several world
powers, including Germany and the United States. Under the deal, Tehran curbed
its nuclear program in exchange for an easing of sanctions, which were imposed
amid fears that the Islamic republic was seeking to develop a nuclear arsenal.
