Comments by Iranian president, Hassan Rouhani

Iran
  • All steps Tehran has taken to distance itself from the deal are reversible
  • EU has failed to act as an independent bloc, should apologise to Tehran
  • Says that he rejects UK PM Johnson's idea of a 'Trump deal' on nuclear program

Rouhani is also calling for the US to leave the region but we all know that is not going to happen. Geopolitical tensions involving Iran may have taken a backseat after the escalation to start the year but don't expect it to die down completely in 2020.

This will be a potential risk event to be mindful about from time to time this year.
