Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), General Mohammad Ali Jafari has expressed concern on the nuclear agreement between Iran and P5+1.

"There are some concerns on the conclusions of the nuclear talk, particularly about the draft resolution of the UN Security Council," Jafari said, Iran's Fars news agency reported July 18.

He did not unveil further details, however Rasul Sanai Rad, head of the IRGC Political Bureau earlier said that the draft resolution should be revised and its contents regarding the arms embargo should be changed.

The UN Security Council is due to vote on July 20 a draft resolution endorsing the deal reached on Iran's nuclear program. If adopted, the resolution aims to lift sanctions against Iran but will retain UN arms embargo for five years and a ban on ballistic missiles for eight years.

However, any change on the resolution is unlikely while it is prepared based on the final nuclear deal which Iran and the P5+1(China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States and Germany) signed in Vienna on July 14.
