In a joint meeting of his administration and parliament on Sunday, Rouhani said that Iran regards the recent agreement as only the beginning of a long and complicated road to a comprehensive deal.
In these negotiations, we agreed on solutions and we have very tough road ahead before reaching the final outcome, Rouhani said.
The Iranian president further warned the Western powers that they must stick to their commitments in case a permanent agreement is achieved.
The assumption that the US and the EU are big powers and therefore can do anything is wrong. And their reputation and prestige would be jeopardized in case they violate their commitments, Rouhani said, adding Our diplomats, legal expert,and politicians are formidable and the other sidecould not overpower us.
