The deputies accuse him of having disregarded laws passed by parliament. and190 out of 235 lawmakers present in the session voted in favour. Analysts are linking the incident with Washington attempt to renew nuclear negotiations in Vienna, which is not possible till the time hardliners are in the power. It is alledged that President Rouhani distanced the country from its ideological goals with pro-Western policies and the 2015 Vienna nuclear agreement.

If we recall, in March this year, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said his country was prepared to take steps to live up to measures in the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers as soon as the United States lifts economic sanctions on Iran. Also in a meeting with Irish Minister of Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney, Rouhani has said, “Iran is ready to immediately take compensatory measures based on the nuclear deal and fulfill its commitments just after the US illegal sanctions are lifted and it abandons its policy of threats and pressure.”
