Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has told NBC that his country will not produce nuclear weapons.
“We have never sought or pursued a nuclear bomb and we are not going to do so,” Rouhani said in an interview.
Rouhani also told NBC that he has full authority to negotiate with the west regarding his country’s nuclear program. The program has been a sore point between Iran and the west including the United Nations that has imposed multiple sanctions on Iran.
