Tehran, Iran, May 12

By Mehdi Sepahvand - Trend:

Iranian lawmakers have introduced a bill to the Parliament's Board of Directors which calls for immediate halt to the ongoing talks on Iran's nuclear program with the US.

The triple-urgency bill was signed by 80 lawmakers, IRNA news agency reported May 12.

"The government, foreign policy officials, and members of the nuclear negotiations team are obliged to halt any relations or talks with Americans on the nuclear issue as long as the US government has not abandoned threatening the Iranian nation; and to continue the talks with the rest of the group P5+1," the bill urges.

The bill claims to defend the "greatness, integrity, and identity" of the Iranian nation.

Earlier this week, Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani had spoken unfavorably about the bill and said the parliament moves parallel to the government.

The bill is probably an answer to the US Senate which last week granted a say to the Congress on any deal with Iran.

Iran and the group P5+1 (the US, UK, France, Russia, China, and Germany) are in talks to reach a final agreement on the Islamic Republic's nuclear program by June 30.
