Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has moved to dispel concerns voiced by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei over Iran’s landmark nuclear deal, insisting Tehran would carry out its obligations while monitoring the actions of world powers.
In a letter to the president on Wednesday, Supreme Leader Khamenei for the first time endorsed the accord Tehran struck in July with world powers, but warned that Iran must guard against weakness in carrying out its provisions.
Rouhani acknowledges support from Khamenei, who has the last word on Tehran’s policy matters, and assures the leader of the benefits of the deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran’s government will act to thoroughly implement the JCPOA, while observing his Honorable considerations and the ratifications of the Supreme National Security Council,” the president said.
