No one can undo benefits of Iran deal: President Rouhani

President Hassan Rouhani says the advantages that Iran gleaned from a 2015 multilateral nuclear agreement are “irreversible” and no one can roll back the positive results of the accord.

According to Press TV, President Rouhani made the remarks in a ceremony marking the beginning of the new educational year for universities at the Tehran University on Saturday.

“In the nuclear negotiations and the [resultant] JCPOA agreement, we gained things and advantages that are irreversible. No one can reverse them, neither Mr. Trump nor anyone else,” President Rouhani said, referring to the deal by its official abbreviation. “If 10 other Trumps emerged in the world [and attempted to undo the deal’s benefits], the benefits would be irreversible.”

During the nuclear talks, the Iranian president said, Iran demonstrated its “political might” to the world and showed that its diplomats were “adequately adept” to negotiate with world powers.

“In negotiating [with world powers], we showed that we are not just strong at war — we’re also strong at peace... Can that political power [just] go away?” he asked, rhetorically.

Elsewhere in his comments, the Iranian president suggested that the US was claiming it has been shortchanged in the deal, “which is of course wrong, because the deal has been based on a win-win framework.”

President Rouhani said Iran established its right to peaceful nuclear energy during the talks and with the JCPOA. “This victory is not reversible,” he said.
