Rouhani says skeptics of Iran deal ‘proven wrong’

President Hassan Rouhani says Sunday that skeptics who said a nuclear deal with world powers would not bring benefits to Iran “were all proven wrong.

“Within a few hours” of the nuclear deal being implemented and sanctions lifted, “1,000 lines of credit were opened by various banks,” Rouhani tells reporters in Tehran.

“This showed that those who used to say, ‘Do not believe’ were mistaken.”
