The President Meets the Press

President Rouhani held a press conference on Monday, April 10, addressing a group of over 200 local and international journalists and media professionals. During the meeting, the president answered questions about the economy, praised the achievements of the nuclear deal and criticized the United States for its recent attack on a Syrian airbase. He stopped short of announcing his candidacy for May's presidential election, but is expected to make his intention to run public over the next week. The briefing, which lasted about an hour and 45 minutes, was longer than the president's usual press meetings.
