'Sanctions removal should be outcome of Iran n-deal'

Tehran, February 25: The outcome of a potential nuclear deal between Iran and the world powers over Tehran’s nuclear issue should be removal of “oppressive and illegal sanctions” against the country, Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said on Wednesday. “The other party in (ongoing) negotiations should know that the talks should end and the negotiations should result in the removal of all the oppressive and illegal sanctions against the country,” Xinhua news agency quoted Rouhani as telling a crowd in the religious city of Qom, south of capital Tehran. “Sanctions go counter to human rights,” therefore, those who have imposed sanctions against Iran are more “isolated” today, he said.
