Mr. Rouhani boasted that in the inauguration ceremony held in Iranian parliament delegations from 151 countries attended and some delegations were made up of 3 to 4 ministers.

“I believe that what has happened in the last couple of days is on the surface a threat which has to be converted into an opportunity to find out the deep causes of the problems,” said the Iranian president.
“Because all the people on the streets are not those commanded by foreigners and there are some of them who are protesting for their own feelings and problems,” noted Mr. Rouhani.
