Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says the sanctions against Iran will be lifted one after another with the conclusion of the recent agreement between the Islamic Republic and the P5+1.
President Rouhani made the remark in an address to a large crowd of people in the western Iranian city of Hamedan on Tuesday.
He said his administration has reached a point where it had the anti-Iran sanctions annulled at the very institution and by the very group that had imposed them in the first place.
The Iranian president said the Islamic Republic has succeeded in not only having the sanctions resolutions annulled without even a moment of having implemented them but also in establishing its right to uranium enrichment not just as a slogan but through UN resolutions. He was referring to Resolution 2231 (2015), which wasunanimously approved bythe UN Security Council on July 20 to endorse the agreement between Iran and the P5+1 countries.
