Iran's President Rouhani: We Will Never Develop Nuclear Weapons -- NBC
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told NBC News on Wednesday that his administration will never develop nuclear weapons and that he has full authority to make a deal with the West on the disputed atomic program.
In Rouhani's first interview with a U.S. news outlet since his election, he also spoke to NBC News National and International correspondent/anchor Ann Curry about his initial interactions with President Obama, who sent him a letter of congratulations and raised "some issues."
"From my point of view, the tone of the letter was positive and constructive," Rouhani said. "It could be subtle and tiny steps for a very important future.
I believe the leaders in all countries could think in their national interest and they should not be under the influence of pressure groups. I hope to witness such an atmosphere in the future."

My Comment: Even though Hassan Rouhani is the President of Iran ... he does not have the ultimate say .... that belongs to this man. Fortunately .... if recent reports are true .... it appears that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is "softening his stance" on the nuclear issue.
