Iranian President Hassan Rouhani stressed that the Geneva agreement inked by Tehran and the Group 5+1 (the US, Russia, China, Britain and France plus Germany) made the world recognize and respect Iran’s rights.

The Joint Plan of Action based on Geneva deal, is the result of our agreement with major world powers in the first step to recognize the Iranian nation’s rights prestigiously, Rouhani said in a televised interview with the stat-run TV on Wednesday night.

“We are witnesses of the breaking of the chain of unjustly-imposed sanctions today, which were in place against our society due to economic intrigues. Today in such fields as food industry, medicine, car manufacturing, petrochemical products, insurance, shipping, and even monetary and economic field we’re witnesses of the breaking of the rings of those sanctions,” he said.

The president added that this move has enraged our enemies so much that the extremists in the United States say something new each day, and the Zionist regime, too, is very angry.

On November 24, Iran and the world powers sealed a six-month Joint Plan of Action to lay the groundwork for the full resolution of the West’s decade-old dispute with Iran over its nuclear energy program. In exchange for Tehran’s confidence-building bid to limit certain aspects of its nuclear activities, the Sextet of world powers agreed to lift some of the existing sanctions against Tehran and continue talks with the country to settle all problems between the two sides.

Then after several rounds of experts talks on how to enforce the agreement, Iran and the six major world powers finalized an agreement on ways to implement the deal.

On January 20, a confidential report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said that Iran has halted its 20-percent enrichment activity under the Geneva deal. Hours later the US and the EU removed part of their sanctions against Tehran.
