Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has once again caused a stir by mocking those opposed to his administration’s policies.
Speaking to banking and financial officials about bringing inflation down to single digits after it had been close to 40% before he took office in 2013, Rouhani said, “This great achievement must be protected.” Suggesting that some individuals may be trying to undo this, he added, “Of course, I am not unaware. Some, with the excuse of opposition to the administration, damage the hope and future of the people; of course, these actions are due to lack of reason.”
