Tehran (ISNA) – Iranian President described the dignity and independence of the country the results of the Late Imam Khomeini's (RA) management method and said: "Constructive interaction with the world, economic calm and helping the disadvantaged are among the government's plans and in line with management in the Islamic system".

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani met with clerics late on Saturday in a cordial atmosphere and said, "Managing the society is nearly impossible without communicating with the global society".

He continued, "Constructive interaction with the world, economic calm and helping the disadvantaged are among the government's plans and in line with management in the Islamic system".

He added, "For the first time, Iran is extracting more gas than Qatar in our joint fields and in other oil and gas fields, we have taken good steps to protect our national assets"

"In our diplomacy, we were trying to secure people's rights," Dr. Rouhani said, adding: "In nuclear negotiations, lifted 6 Security Council resolutions against Iran".

He continued, "The same United Nations that did not consider enrichment as Iran's right, unanimously endorsed it in Resolution 2231".

"The difference between our enrichment today with the past is that in the past, the US claimed that Iran does not have the right to enrichment because of violations, but today, out enrichment is considered completely legal by the same UN".

"After US withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the majority of the global community believed Iran was right and defended the deal," he added.

The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran also went on to say, "Today, we are in a situation that the President of France, in his visit to Russia and joint press conference with the President of that country, announces that they support the deal. Americans are putting pressure on Europeans to choose them or Iran, but Europeans say they choose the JCPOA".

He also continued, "US being against us is very different from the global community being against us. The current behaviour of the US administration will not last for long. We don't know what will happen in mid-term US Congress election and other elections. Anyway, we must be wise and resolve the issues".
