Iran’s FM Submits JCPOA to Parliament for Review
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Tuesday handed over the text of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) to the Iranian parliament for review.
Having attended the parliament’s morning session, Zarif submitted to the parliament the text Iran and world powers had finalized one week ago in Vienna, capital of Austria.
“As per the bill passed by the parliament, I will submit the JCPOA to the parliament,” Zarif stated before delivering the text to Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani.
The move came almost one month after Iran’s parliament gave final approval to a bill subjecting the credibility of the results of nuclear talks between Tehran and six world powers to complying with a series of requirements meant to safeguard Iran's nuclear achievements.
According to the bill, Iran's administration is obliged to observe a series of requirements in final nuclear deal with the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany).
Iran and the Group 5+1 (also known as the P5+1 or E3+3) on July 14 concluded more than two weeks of intensive talks in Austria. The negotiations resulted in a comprehensive 159-page document on Iran’s nuclear program.
