well president hassan rouhani spent the initial part of his television appearance talking about the united states about donald trump and really repeating what's already been said in this very longstanding stalemate between the two countries what was very interesting is that he spent the bulk of his time it was almost two hours discussing domestic issues and speaking directly to the iranian people now this nuclear deal as it's continued to fall apart has made president hassan rouhani is government incredibly unpopular the policy has become almost toxic in iran because rouhani really married himself to this deal negotiating it seeing it through and he sold it is the fix for all of the country's economic problems and when that didn't manifest when iranians weren't doing better than they were before the deal when donald trump started to whittle away at the deal and eventually try to break it down that made president hassan rouhani very unpopular for not seeing it coming so he spent this speech appealing to the iranian people saying he didn't care about his popularity at one point technology an
