Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani vowed on Friday to continue rebuilding ties with the world and get rid of remaining sanctions during a fiery final debate a week ahead of the election.
Rouhani, who is seeking a second four-year term next Friday, said Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers had ended many sanctions and brought a windfall from renewed oil sales over the past year that could now be invested.
“We want to allocate $15 billion for investments... And $3-5 billion for supporting the poor and needy,” said Rouhani.
