The President also spoke again about the project of engaging in broad discussions with all the concerned parties, taking the 2015 nuclear agreement as a starting point, to create a mutually beneficial framework on issues related to the development of Iran’s nuclear program after 2025, ballistic missile activities, and the main crises in the Middle East.
