President Rouhani to unveil details of Hormuz Peace Initiative at UN

President Hassan Rouhani is to deliver a speech at the 74th United Nations General Assembly session within hours about the Islamic Republic's stance on the latest regional and international developments.

According to Press TV, President Rouhani plans to convey the message of peace to the world at the UN.

"We hope in the very sensitive situation of the region today we would be able to convey the message of our regional nations, which is the message of regional peace and end of any interference in the sensitive regions of Persian Gulf and the Middle East," Rouhani said upon arrival in New York on Monday.

Before leaving for New York, Rouhani told reporters at Tehran's Mehrabad Airport that the peace initiative is aimed at establishing long-term peace in the Persian Gulf, which he said is simply not achievable as long as outsiders are present.

According to Rouhani, the initiative will envision the provision of security for the Persian Gulf, the Sea of Oman, and the Strait of Hormuz with cooperation among Iran and other regional countries.
