Iran Judiciary Chief Backs Parliament’s Strategic Action Bill

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s Judiciary Chief Seyed Ebrahim Raeisi hailed a parliamentary bill on strategic action for lifting of the sanctions and safeguarding national interests, saying more components of power would increase the enemy’s cost of hostility.

In comments at a Judiciary meeting on Monday, the top judge lauded the Iranian lawmakers for ratifying the strategic action bill and “forcing the enemy to carry out commitments to the international agreements and treaties.”

The outsiders must bear in mind that they ought to pay the cost of pressures on Iran, the Judiciary chief underlined, adding, “The more leverages and components of power we have, the higher the enemy’s costs of hostility and pressure on the (Iranian) nation will be.”

Raeisi further called on Iranian officials to adopt unified and revolutionary stances based on the realities on the ground, not personal and political views.

The Islamic Republic’s resistance should come with the generation of power in the economic, scientific, security and defense spheres, the top judge added.

Following disagreements between the administration and the Parliament on the strategic action bill, the Supreme National Security Council said on Saturday that the newly-ratified law would not cause any harm to the country’s national interests.

The SNSC said what are harmful to the national interests as a source of concern are the controversies that may undermine the authority of domestic institutions and damage national unity, calling on all parties to end the futile debates.

The cabinet of President Hassan Rouhani has opposed the parliamentary bill that requires the government to halt voluntary implementation of the NPT if the European signatories to the 2015 nuclear deal keep failing to honor their commitments.
