President Hasan Rouhani said on Wednesday that IAEA's closure of the so-called possible military dimensions (PMD) of Iran's nuclear program was a moral, political and legal victory for the Iranian nation.

Speaking to the Iranian nation in a live TV address, the President underlined that Iran's nuclear program has never diverted from its peaceful path.

Rouhani's remarks comes a day after the IAEA Board of Governors unanimously voted in favor of a resolution to close Iran's file, putting an end to 13 years of dispute over Tehran's nuclear program.

Iran has repeatedly stressed its religious commitment to non-proliferation, Rouhani said.

Settlement of nuclear issue came after Iran's diplomatic engagement, the President said, adding that the grounds are almost paved for implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) reached between Iran and the six world powers on July 14.

Rouhani expressed hope that sanctions against Iran will be lifted as of next month.

The President also underlined that the Islamic Republic of Iran will adhere to all its commitments under the terms of the JCPOA.
