(MENAFN) Iran's departing President Hassan Rouhani on Sunday, August 1, made an apology to the Iranians for the suffering they had to live through throughout his eight-year ruling.
Speaking throughout his final cabinet gathering, Rouhani admitted that his government shared "only part of the truth" with the people as he was frightened it would "harm national unity."
He also added, without giving details “What we told people was not contrary to reality, but we did not tell them part of the truth”.
Rouhani's reformist government will contend two terms in office this week, with the new management led by previous judiciary chief and top conservative Ebrahim Raeisi set to be sworn in on Thursday, August 5.
