Tehran, May 26 (UNI) Amid disentangled deal with world powers and intensified tensions with the United States, Iran's president has suggested that Islamic Republic could hold a referendum over the country's nuclear program, Iranian media reported on Sunday.
Rouhani said he had previously suggested a referendum to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in 2004, when he was a senior nuclear negotiator.
Khamenei last week named Rouhani and Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif — relative moderates within Iran's Shiite theocracy who had struck the nuclear deal — as failing to implement his orders over the accord, saying it had "numerous ambiguities and structural weaknesses" that could damage Iran, reported IRNA.
