Iranian MPs draft bill to stop nuclear talks if U.S. threat continues

Baku, Azerbaijan, May 9

By Fatih Karimov - Trend: A number of Iranian MPs have drafted a bill, aimed to oblige the country's nuclear negotiators to stop talks with the P5+1 group if the U.S. continues to use threatening language.

Javad Karimi Ghoddousi, the member of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, said that the bill will be undersigned by the MPs and will be submitted to the parliament's presiding board on May 10, Iran's Fars news agency reported May 9.

The bill, if approved, will require the administration to stop the nuclear talks until the U.S. ends the "language of threat".

Speaking at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy late on April 30, U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said, "As we pursue this deal, we're also deepening our cooperation with Israel and our other regional partners."

"There's nothing simple, minimal or predictable about a war with Iran," he said. "If required, it will happen. It's a risk we may yet have to take should Iran race to a bomb."

Iran and the P5+1 group of countries -- the US, Britain, France, China, Russia and Germany -- reached a framework agreement on Tehran's nuclear program on April 2 in Switzerland. The two sides are working to finalize a deal by the end of June.
