President Hassan Rouhani who was addressing Ministry of Intelligence staff and high-ranking officials on Tuesday, said that Iran’s security in the region was exemplary, while the country was actively facing many threats by the enemies; “we should honor those who work unassumingly to bestow security and peace to the country and nation,” he emphasized. “The nation’s vote during presidential election of June 2013 to a campaign seeking fighting extremism and violence clearly indicates the nation’s firm belief in the path of moderation; in no time in history has the extremism succeeded in accomplishing outcomes favorable to the nation; rather, the path of moderation did succeed to lead the nation to terra firma,” he lavished praise upon his presidential campaign of 2013.
