Iran's Rouhani mocks his opponents, again
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, who has welcomed criticism in the past, is under fire for mocking his critics once again.
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.”
