IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Bojnourd, June 14, IRNA -- President Hassan Rouhani underlined that if the sanctions imposed by the West negatively influence the country's economy the needed measures should be taken for their removal.

'If the sanctions become influential they should be removed,' President Rouhani told reporters in the city of Bojnourd, Northern Khorassan province, on Sunday night.

President Rouhani embarked on his 19th provincial tour of North Khorassan province.

Earlier today, President Rouhani underlined that Iran is committed to the redlines set by the country's Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei.

'No one in the country should have any doubt about observing the frameworks and redlines in the nuclear talks with the world powers,' President Rouhani said, addressing the people of Bojnourd.

'The removal of all sanctions and resolutions of the United Nations, maintaining nuclear enrichment as well as research and development (R&D) in nuclear technology are some of our redlines in these negotiations that are being observed by the negotiators,' he added.

President Rouhani reiterated that all economic and central bank sanctions should also be lifted after striking a final deal in the nuclear talks.
