“I have attended all JCPOA Commission sessions (in the Iranian parliament), and there has been to talk of such issue,” Esmaeil Kosari, a member of the parliament’s special commission for reviewing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) said in an interview.
He made the remarks in reply to a question about certain reports on Iranian parliament’s invitation for International Atomic Energy Agency chief to attend the sessions.
Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) finalized the text of a lasting agreement on Tehran’s nuclear program in Vienna on July 14.
The deal has its opponents and proponents both in Iran and the other countries that are parties to the JCPOA, particularly the US.
Several Iranian negotiators have already attended a number of sessions in the parliament to explain and review the JCPOA, and the sessions are planned to continue into next week, when a report will be released on the commission’s scrutiny of the text.
The 159-page JCPOA, whose text was finalized in Vienna on July 14, has subjected the parties to comply with a series of commitments, resulting in the termination of sanctions on Iran in exchange for certain restrictions on Tehran’s nuclear program during a defined period of time.
