TEHRAN, Iran \u2014 Iranian President Hassan Rouhani offered his harshest criticism yet Monday of hard-liners opposed to making a deal over its contested nuclear program with world powers, saying they should go “to hell.”<\/p>\n

Iran reached a preliminary deal last November that curbed parts of its atomic program in exchange for some economic sanctions to be eased, an agreement hard-liners said gave too much away. Now, as negotiators face a Nov. 24 deadline to reach a final deal, hard-liners have been increasing their pressure on Rouhani and those trying to reach a compromise with the West.<\/p>\n

Speaking Monday to an annual meeting of Iranian ambassadors, Rouhani called his hard-line critics “political cowards.<\/p>\n

“Anytime there is going to be negotiations, a handful say we are shaking. Well, to hell. Go and find a warm place for yourself. What should we do?” an angry Rouhani said in comments broadcast live on state television.<\/p>\n

Rouhani said his government will continue his policy of moderation and “constructive engagement” with the West.<\/p>\n

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say on all state matters, has backed the nuclear negotiating team. Yet that hasn’t stopped hard-liners from calling the interim nuclear deal a “poison chalice” for Iran. They also organized a high-profile meeting last month to criticize Rouhani and the negotiators, saying the government has no right to accept limitations on Iran’s uranium enrichment.<\/p>\n

The West fears Iran’s nuclear program could allow the country to build atomic weapons. Iran says its program is for peaceful means, like power generation and medical research.<\/p>\n

Under the interim deal reached last November, Iran agreed to convert or dilute its stockpile of 20-percent enriched uranium. Uranium at 20 percent is only a technical step away from weapons-grade material and Iran once had more than 200 kilograms (440 pounds) in its stockpile \u2014 nearly enough for a weapon.<\/p>\n

The main dispute now facing negotiators is over uranium enrichment. Tehran wants to be allowed to expand its enrichment program over the next eight years to a level that would need about 190,000 current-model enriching centrifuges.<\/p>\n

Iran now has about 20,000 centrifuges, with half of them operating. U.S. negotiators say even 10,000 are too many.<\/p>\n

Rouhani repeated Monday that his government seeks a “win-win” solution where both Iran and the West will feel victorious. However, hard-liners say they won’t allow that to happen, setting up a possible political challenge to Rouhani’s administration in the weeks ahead as negotiations continue.<\/p>\n
