One hundred days into his first term as Iran's president, Hassan Rouhani offered an upbeat progress report to the country Tuesday, two days after a nuclear deal with world powers gave his young administration a much-needed boost.
"We pride ourselves on being accountable to our people," Rouhani said at the start of a live television question-and-answer session in which he outlined his administration's handling of Iran's domestic and foreign affairs since taking power in August.
Among the successes Rouhani highlighted were a steep drop in inflation, harmony among the three branches of government, reduced domestic security restrictions since he took office and the announcement of a draft charter of citizens' rights for Iranians.
