Hassan Rowhani (حسن روحانی) (born 12 November 1948) is an Iranian politician and cleric, and as of March 2007, a member of the Supreme National Security Council. Rowhani's membership in the council is as one of the two representatives of the Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran. He was the chief negotiator with the European countries of UK, France, and Germany over Iran's nuclear program. Under his supervision, his team agreed to temporarily suspend nuclear enrichment without any conditions. This was changed after his replacement, and the nuclear program was resumed.
