Iran will take the final steps to implement the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action within the next weeks, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani announced at a press conference in Tehran, Wednesday.
His statement came after the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency's (AIEA) 12-year-long probe into the country's past nuclear activities was closed on Tuesday, marking a milestone towards lifting international sanctions against Iran. "Yesterdays achievement was not just a legal or technical achievement," Rouhani stated, adding that "It became clear that this establishment has been acting honestly with its own people and the world."
