Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has expressed hope that the country's newly elected parliament will be in coordination with the government to fulfil the president's electoral promises, Trend reports.
President Rouhani criticized his opponents who opposed the last year's nuclear deal with the world powers describing them as "pessimists", IRNA news agency reported May 1.
While Rouhani's opponents gained about 29 percent, the pro-Rouhani candidates secured about 46 percent in the 290-seat parliament following the two rounds of elections.
