The Americans continued to bully us even during the negotiations, but ultimately and thank God, the Islamic Republic of Iran managed to fulfill some of its demands and to put several things in the deal which are in our favor, Ali Larijanisaid in an interview with CNN broadcast on Tuesday.
He described as acceptable the nuclear agreement between Tehran and the P5+1 group of countries, saying Irans parliament will pass its judgment [on the agreement] in a month.
In general, I think this is an acceptable agreement. There might be some shortcomings in it, but overall, I think it is a good deal, the seniorIranian lawmaker added.
