Iran's President Hassan�Rouhani says all Iranian authorities, without any exception, should be held accountable to the nation based on their responsibilities.

�Nobody should regard themselves as�an exception to being questioned by the [Iranian] nation, and all [officials] should be proud of people's questioning and of being accountable to the people,� Rouhani said.

The president made the remark while addressing a Monday gathering of students at Tehran�s Sharif University of Technology marking�National University Student's Day.

The day honors�the anniversary of the deaths of three Tehran University students killed by the former Pahlavi regime�s police force on December 7, 1953. The students were protesting a coup supported by the American and British governments that�toppled Iran�s democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddeq earlier that year.

Rouhani also noted that all Iranian officials, whether directly or indirectly, have been elected by the people�s vote.

The president further called for consensus on various issues, including national sovereignty and national interests.
