Iran parliament endorses President Rouhani's diplomatic outreach
Iran's parliament, dominated by conservatives, strongly
endorsed President Hassan Rouhani's diplomatic bid to break down mistrust at
the United Nations in New York last week, which ended with an historic phone
call with President Barack Obama, Iranian media said. The backing from the
assembly, controlled by political factions deeply loyal to Supreme leaderAyatollah Ali Khamenei, is a further sign that Rouhani has the backing of the
Iranian establishment.
In the first joint meeting between president and parliament,
Rouhani briefed parliamentarians on his trip to New York, including discussions
on Iran's nuclear dispute with the West and regional relations, Two hundred and
thirty parliamentarians, out of the total of 290, signed a statement expressing
their support of Rouhani for presenting the image of a "powerful and
peace-seeking Iran which seeks talks and interaction for the settlement of
regional and international issues,".
