President Rouhani told foreign diplomats based in Tehran that “despite America’s all-out pressures in the past twenty months, all economic indices since the past eight months show that Iran’s conditions are completely stable and we have successfully overcome these sanctions and that America has made a mistake”. He also maintained that “our precision-guided and modern missiles are to be used against terror and crime; we have never built missiles for aggression, and will never do so”. “We assure all our neighbours and regional peoples that we want peaceful coexistence”, Rouhani added. “We are willing to negotiate with all our neighbours, without exception, to settle issues”.
