Professor Milad Jokar on significance of Rouhani’s Europe trip

World Today

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s visit to Europe is the first by an Iranian leader in 17 years. Just hours after Rouhani arrived in Paris, a new report surfaced that probably won’t sit well back home.

France apparently urged the European Union to impose new sanctions against Iran just last week. The timing couldn’t be worse for Rouhani’s French hosts.
