HASSAN ROUHANI

摘要

I met Hassan Rouhani at a stressful time-in 2003, just as the International Atomic Energy Agency was uncovering concealed nuclear activities in Iran. Rouhani was then President Mohammed Khatami's insightful, pragmatic National Security Adviser; he was keen to seek a political solution through direct dialogue with the U.S. On his watch, Iran suspended sensitive nuclear activities as a gesture of goodwill until negotiations were completed. The Iranian media nicknamed him the Diplomat Sheik.
