Rouhani: Iran's regional status has never been stronger
President Hassan Rouhani said on Monday Iran's position in the Middle East had never been stronger but that the regime was at risk unless infighting between political factions was curbed.
"The greatness of the nation of Iran in the region is more than at any other time," Rouhani said in a speech in Tehran, carried by the state broadcaster.
"In Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, northern Africa, in the Persian Gulf region -- where can action be taken without Iran?"
