Baku, Azerbaijan, Oct. 30
By Fatih Karimov – Trend
The Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission has issued a report on the status of implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) over the past six months, the parliament’s ICANA news agency reported Oct. 30.
The report which was read out in the parliament’s open session Oct. 30 morning includes six parts covering implementation of the commitments by the Islamic Republic, P5+1(US, UK, France, Germany, China and Russia) and the status of sanctions removal, as well as violation of the treaty by the US.
According to the report, the Islamic Republic has fulfilled all the commitments under the nuclear deal, meanwhile the US administration has partly violated the deal, not keeping its word.
Imposing sanctions against 11 individuals and entities, approval and implementation of the US Visa Waiver Program, which imposes some restrictions on foreigners intending to visit the US, the US Supreme Court’s order on seizure of Iran’s $2 billion worth of assets frozen in the US are among the claimed violations’ of the nuclear deal which was signed last year.
The report also argues that signing a decree on emergency situation against Iran by President Barack Obama, barring Iran from USD transactions and continuing ban on cooperation of major international banks with Tehran, a US court order on turning over of $ 2.8 million worth of Iran’s assets to terror victims, delay on licensing aircraft purchase, sanctions related to the Islamic Republic’s defense capabilities and human rights pretexts are also listed as violation of the nuclear treaty by the US.
ICANA also reported that Iran’s foreign ministry has given a written report to the parliament on the process of implementation of the nuclear deal.
The report, which is the foreign ministry’s third report, was submitted to the parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy on Oct. 30.
According to a law that requires the Iranian administration to safeguard the “nation’s achievements and nuclear rights”, the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission has a duty to monitor “the proper implementation” of the JCPOA, and is required to submit a report on the issue to the presiding board of the parliament every six months.
The foreign ministry also should submit a report to the parliament regarding the nuclear deal implementation every three months.
