TEHERAN - Iran's President Hassan Rouhani on Sunday ruled out resigning and vowed to see out his term, even as he admitted he had offered to step aside twice since being elected.
Rouhani's government has come under fire over the state of Iran's sanctions-hit economy and for allegedly failing to fulfil election promises. "My resignation does not make much sense... we have made promises to the people and we will continue to fulfil those promises" despite the economic situation and pressure from"the enemy", Rouhani said, referring to the US.
Rouhani, a moderate conservative, said he raised the issue with the supreme leader again during his second term."I would not even let the government leave its responsibility an hour earlier, not a month or a week earlier'," he quoted Khamenei as saying. He delivered on the second pledge in 2015, when Iran agreed to limit its nuclear activities in return for the lifting of international sanctions.
