“We have to prepare conditions so that the Central Bank will have more freedom for using its credits in domestic and foreign markets,” Rouhani said.
Central Bank of Iran (CBI) has been cut off from SWIFT due to Iran’s nuclear program.
Rouhani said the government’s top priority is to “put a quick end to the issue of cruel sanctions.”
The Iranian president made the remarks on Monday, saying that the P5+1 group of world powers must remove anti-Iran sanctions through interaction with Tehran.
“They (the West) have no other way since all other ways are wrong; they have tried these ways before and if they want to retry them, they will lose more,” Rouhani said.
In their last round of talks before a November 24 deadline for reaching a comprehensive nuclear deal, Iran and the P5+1 countries -- the United States, Russia, China, Germany, France and Britain -- held nearly a week of intense negotiations in Vienna on how to tackle the remaining obstacles that exist in the way of clinching an agreement.
At the end of the talks, the two sides agreed to extend the Joint Plan of Action to July 1, 2015.
