Washington, Nov. 30 (ANI): Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has said he will not dismantle any of its nuclear facilities to reach a long-term agreement with the world powers to limit its nuclear development.
In an interview, Rouhani said that dismantling Iran's nuclear facilities was a "red line," CNN reports.
The statement came less than a week after Iran and the P5+1 nations reached an interim six-month deal last weekend to limit Tehran's nuclear development.
The world leaders want a long-term guarantee that Iran won't produce nuclear weapons.
In return, Iran is hoping that the world powers will suspend sanctions on various items, including gold and petrochemical exports and will provide the country with about 1.5 billion dollars in revenue.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has criticized the agreement, calling it a "historic mistake." (ANI)
