Zarif confirms Ahmadinejads remark; Rouhani ridicules
TEHRAN, Nov. 27 (MNA) Irans FM has confirmed Amadinejads speech that sanctions were paper scraps; however, president ridicules it.
Mehr News reported that in 2006, Irans sixth president spoke clearly about Western sanctions on Iran, you assume that if you collaborate on preparing a scrap of paper [resolution], you would stand against Iranian people? this was spoken by Ahmadinejad during his March 2007 visit to Yazd province, which won for him extensive criticism by some presidential elections nominees, including Rouhani himself.


However, Rouhanis foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, in todays Parliament open session, confirmed Ahmadinejads speech that sanctions had been paper scraps. Zarif was speaking about breaking the pillars of sanctions. When UN sanctions removed, US other sanctions would be paper scraps, said Zarif to the Parliament. They had been sanctioning us for 35 years, he added.

Meanwhile, Hassan Rouhani ridiculed Ahmadinejads speech on sanctions during last nights interview to Iran state TV Channel 1.
