AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Stating that the enemies make the problems, but they will definitely not achieve their goals, President said, “During economic war, the country needs a single commander; I suggested to the Supreme Leader to be the commander, but he said it is the President who has to be the commander of this war”.
Addressing the immense gathering of people in the northern city of Lahijan on Wednesday, Dr Hassan Rouhani referred to the consecutive failures of the enemies against the great, united people of Iran, and said, “The people of Iran achieved great victories in this historic test”.
“They wanted 1397 to be the year of the defeat of the Iranian nation, but the people stood up to their sanctions,” continued Rouhani.
He also described Feb 11 as the day of bravery and the symbol of resistance of the people against the enemies, saying, “They were trying to incite us to violate our obligations, so that the world would follow them in imposing sanctions, but they failed in both steps”.
“The United States’ withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was a violation of rules and regulations, standing against the United Nations and the world,” he said.
The President also said, “In the Security Council, all 14 countries objected the President of the United States”.
The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran also continued, “They wanted to unite the world against Iran in Warsaw, but they failed”.
He went on to say, “We promised that we would work towards self-sufficiency in energy consumption and today, we are fully self-sufficient in energy”.
Referring to the government’s promise to people to connect four major provinces to the nationwide railway system, he said, “Hamedan, Kermanshah, Urmia, and today, Rasht, are connected to the system”.
“Bandar-e Anzali and Caspian Port must be connected to the Persian Gulf through railways as soon as possible,” continued Rouhani.
He also stressed the importance of the environment and protecting the wetlands of Gilan Province.
Iran seeks constructive interaction with all countries, he said, adding, “Some countries themselves have created problems, distancing themselves from the Islamic Republic of Iran, and it is their fault”.
Dr Rouhani said, “The construction process of Rasht-Astara, which is very important for international purposes, beings today”.
