Hassan Rouhani addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Monday afternoon, discussing matters such as the Hajj pilgrimage disaster and the Iran nuclear deal.

Rouhani made a conclusion that US and Israel are to blame for regional terrorism.   

"We propose that the fight against terrorism be incorporated into a binding international document and no country be allowed to use terrorism for the purpose of intervention into the affairs of another country," Rouhani said in an address to the UN General Assembly.

The Rise of Israel and Iran and the Failure of Sanctions
Moving to Iran's relationship with the international community, Rouhani stated that he was "proud" to start a "new chapter" of engagement with the world.

He then praised the Iran nuclear deal and the negotiating partners involved. Rouhani appreciated that the deal was unanimously approved by the UN Security Council. 

On July 14, Iran, Russia, the United States, China, the United Kingdom, France and Germany signed a historic deal to guarantee the peaceful nature of Tehran's nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. 

Lifting of sanctions is viewed in Iran as a practical possibility for resuming cooperation with both regional and international partners.
