Iran’s Rouhani: Nuclear Deal with West Certain
Local Editor
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Monday a nuclear deal with the West was bound to happen and he believed it could be achieved by a November 24 deadline.
"We have reached consensus on generalities and there are only the fine details to be worked out: whether we would reach an agreement within the next 40 days, if the time will be extended, etc.," the president told his people in a late evening address broadcast live on television.
He further added: "Of course details are important too, but what's important is that the nuclear issue is irreversible. I think a final settlement can be achieved in these remaining 40 days. We will not return to the situation a year ago. The world is tired and wants it to end, resolved through negotiations."
"A nuclear settlement is certain," he said, vowing to "apply all our efforts in that direction."
A US official said last week a deal was likely by the present deadline.
Hundreds of the world's great companies are waiting for a comprehensive deal between Tehran and the P5+1 countries to rush for investment in Iran.
