Local Editor

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei confirmed that the nuclear deal reached between Iran and world powers was result of endeavors of Iranian nation and scientists, not a US favor.

Referring to Iran's nuclear agreement with world powers, also known as Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action [JCPOA], the Leader said, "Some people want to make it look as if the achievements made [were made because] the US did us some kind of favor. But this is not the case."

"The JCPOA was an important and great event," the Leader said, noting, "It is not as if all our demands were met, but the scale of the demands that were met, [it was because of the efforts made by] the [nuclear] negotiating team and [Foreign] Minister [Mohammad Javad Zarif] and President [Hassan Rouhani]."

"This [nuclear achievement] was the result of endeavors of Iranian nation and scientists," the Leader emphasized, adding, "I personally believe that we could have done better than this, of course, the ability and opportunity and potential necessitated this [much]; [and of course,] even this degree [of success] is an important work."
