Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Monday Sep 28,2015 ,in his first major public address at the United Nations General Assembly in New York since the nuclear accord was finalized, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani conveyed an optimistic, forward-looking approach to relations with the rest of the world, defying expectations that he would be pressured by domestic conservatives to adopt an increasingly hostile position toward cooperation with the U.S. and its allies.  

Iranian President HassanRouhani pointed to the recently negotiated nuclear agreement as a sign of an era of enhanced cooperation between Iran and the international community.
"I am speaking on behalf of a nation that, two years ago, again voted for constructive engagement with the world,” he said Monday Sep 28,2015 at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, referring to his unexpected victory in the 2013 elections. "I can now proudly announce that today, a new chapter has started in Iran's relations with the world."
"For the first time, two sides, rather than negotiating peace after war, engaged in dialogue and understanding before the eruption of conflict," Rouhani declared, referring to what was previously a mounting threat of a U.S.-led military campaign against Iran
