The spokesperson for Iran’s administration dismissed speculation that President Hassan Rouhani is considering resigning from his post, reports Tasnim.

Speaking at a weekly press conference on Monday, Ali Rabiee denied any plans for Rouhani’s resignation, saying such an idea has been by no means raised in the administration.

On an upcoming presidential visit to Japan, Rabiee underlined that Rouhani’s trip to Tokyo has nothing to do with the US’ push for talks with Iran.

He added that the “Japanese friends” sometimes put forward proposals occasionally, but reiterated that the Islamic Republic has no plans in this regard.
