Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said reaching a final nuclear accord with the U.S. and European nations would lead to more co-operation against extremist groups in the Middle East, as the deadline for a deal nears.
If negotiators from the two sides overcome the remaining obstacles for an agreement, an “entirely different environment will emerge for cooperation” focusing “on some very important regional issues such as combating violence and extremism in the region,” Rouhani said today in his address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
