Iran’s parliament sets conditions for return to nuclear deal
The legislators’ show of force comes as an agreement may be reached in Vienna with world powers within days.
Tehran, Iran – An overwhelming majority of Iranian legislators have set to define strict conditions for a return to the country’s 2015 nuclear deal as an agreement with world powers in Vienna appears close. In a statement read out on Sunday, 250 legislators in the 290-member parliament…
The legislators defined those as receiving a guarantee by the US and the so-called E3 that they will not abandon the nuclear deal again… “The US regime and other countries party to the JCPOA must pledge that they won’t use the snapback mechanism,”…
The parliamentarians also asserted all sanctions imposed under “false excuses” must be lifted – which they defined as nuclear, terrorism, missile, and human rights designations, in addition to those under the Iran Sanctions Act (ISA), Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA), and U-Turn sanctions on dollar transactions.
To ensure effective implementation of their demands, the legislators called for an unspecified “verification” process, after which Iran would act to scale back its nuclear advances to come into full compliance with the terms of the JCPOA again.
Lastly, the legislators on Sunday reminded President Raisi that based on their law, his administration can only act to scale back the country’s nuclear advances if parliament approves the lifting of banking and oil sanctions by the US.
Lol. The Iran deal may actually be dead the moment they sign the paper. The Iranian parliament with overwhelming majority (250/290) is telling President Raisi that they are in charge. Growing rift between parliament and the president?
