Iranian President Sheikh Hasan RouhaniIran’s president Sheikh Hasan Rouhani said that Iran will enrich uranium according to its needs, noting that his country's activities fall under the supervision of the International Agency of Atomic Energy.

During an interview with Financial Times this week, Sheikh Rouhani stressed that dismantling of Iran's nuclear facilities is a red line that the Iranian government should not exceeded.

The Iranian president pointed to the possibility that the Iranian - U.S. relations improves in the next stage, but he made clear that the problems between the two countries are very complicated and cannot be solved in a short time, alluding to achieve openness in recent days which is possible to expand despite the complications.

On the Iranian economic situation, he said the government inherited serious problems in this sector and the country suffers now from recession and inflation at the same time, "but we feel hopeful about the future of the economy in the country and this is not only my point of view, but also the economic team expresses the same opinion where it is possible to solve the economic problems in Iran within a short period," his eminence said.

"The reason to hope is that we were able to reduce the rapid growth of inflation over the past three months, and I imagine that inflation has fell from 43 to 36 percent, which is a good sign," Sheikh Rouhani indicated.

He stressed that the government will continue this approach to reduce inflation in conjunction with the development of business activities in the country, highlighting that the economic team of the government expects to achieve positive economic growth during the next year (according to the Iranian calendar), as well as the Geneva Accord which provided positive atmosphere in the economic sphere and will be enhanced with the Geneva Accord.
