Vaezi: The government cannot hold the previous administration responsible for events
Mahmoud Vaezi, the Chief of Staff for Hassan Rouhani: When about 2 years have passed in the life of a government, it can no longer hold the previous administration responsible for events.
The pursuit of the JCPOA by the thirteenth government is evidence of the legitimacy of the JCPOA.
Iran’s membership in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is also considered one of the achievements of the previous government, as a year before Iran’s official membership in this pact, Rouhani and Zarif were negotiating for membership. Therefore, only the task of signing this pact fell to the thirteenth government.
