HASSAN ROUHANI


Hassan Rouhani was born on November 12, 1948. Rouhani is an Iranian politician and cleric who became the president of Iran in 2013. He began attending a seminary in Iran's Semnan province in the 1960s before travelling to Qom to complete his clerical training. He also studied at the University of Tehran Cheap Soccer Hats Free Shipping , graduating in 1972 with a degree in law. He was arrested several times in the 1960s and 1970s for his opposition to the rule of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi and his support for the late founder of the Islamic Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. He fled Iran in 1977 and joined Khomeini in exile in France in 1978.


Rouhani returned to Iran after the Iranian revolution of 1979. He was elected to the parliament, also known as the Majlis, serving five consecutive terms between 1980 and 2000. He also held a variety of posts relating to national security during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-88). He served as a member of the High Council for National Defense and as the commander of Iran's air defenses. In 1989, he was appointed as the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, a position that he occupied under centrist president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani (1989-97) and reformist president Mohammad Khatami (1997-2005). While serving in government Cheap Soccer Hoodies Free Shipping , Rouhani continued his academic work, earning a Ph.D. from Glasgow Caledonian University in 1999 with a dissertation on Islamic law.


Between 2003 and 2005, Rouhani led the Iranian delegation in negotiations with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the international community regarding Iran's nuclear energy program. In that position, he developed a reputation among Western diplomats for moderation and pragmatism, but some hard-liners in Iran objected to Iranian concessions that included increased inspections and a temporary suspension of uranium enrichment. Rouhani resigned as Iran's chief nuclear negotiator and as the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council following the election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as president in 2005.

His conciliatory overtures led to a telephone call with then U.S. President Barack Obama in late September, the first direct conversation between a U.S. and an Iranian leader since 1979.


Rouhani's pledge to restart international dialogue regarding Iran's nuclear activities was fulfilled in early November 2013 with the opening of talks between Iran and P5+1 comprising the United States, China Cheap Soccer Jerseys Free Shipping , Russia, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
