Iran’s Rouhani Says Nuclear Deal ‘More Than What Was Imagined’

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, calling the nuclear deal signed last month “more than what was imagined,” said the country will start implementing its terms by next month -- after which the process of sanctions removal will begin.

In a live interview on state television in Tehran, the moderate cleric said the historic accord signed with six powers, including the U.S., was a “great achievement” for Iran because it meant it’s seen as a country the rest of the world wants to engage with, rather than as a threat to peace.
