Rouhani arrives in New York for UN General Assembly
Tehran (KNA) - Iran’s president arrives in New York for the United Nations General Assembly, where, he says, the Islamic Republic intends to make a point of adverting to the US’s violations and defining Tehran’s regional and international policies.
Hassan Rouhani's plane touched down at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, the seat of the Assembly, on Sunday.
Surrounded by reporters upon deplaning, the Iranian chief executive said this year's trip for the 73rd session of the Assembly was slightly different from the ones that took place in previous years.
"The climate is a little different from [those of] the previous years. The Americans have gone back on many of their agreements all across the world, including the agreement and pledge they had in the JCPOA," he said.
Rouhani was referring by abbreviation to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the landmark nuclear deal that Iran signed with world countries, including the US, back in 2015. Washington left the accord in May, and started reintroducing the sanctions that had been lifted as its result.
