Iranian President: Our Negotiating Partner Is The White House Not The U.S. Congress



New York Times: Rouhani Dismisses White House Compromise With Congress on Iran Nuclear Deal

TEHRAN — Iran’s president on Wednesday dismissed the compromise worked out between the Obama administration and Congress over an impending nuclear agreement as internal American politics, saying the Iranians were negotiating with six countries, not just the United States.

The president, Hassan Rouhani, also reiterated Iran’s position that onerous economic sanctions that have been imposed on the country for years by the United Nations, United States and European Union must be lifted with the signing of any final agreement.
