Parliament however emphasizes on its regulating role on JCPOA issue; “the agreement should be lent a legal status and place, and since it brings about some commitments for the country, should be approved by the Parliament,” said Larijani, who represents Qom constituency; “from a political point of view, government bill would have salutary effects; to create a consensus in the Parliament, and the way it could play its role, we are in the process of making a common mentality,” he asserted.
Head of Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi also told the press that the Commission had been closely watching JCPOA issue; “government should present the Parliament with a bill addressing the JCPOA; representatives have the right to raise concerns about the deal since it is a historic deal in the political life of the Islamic Republic of Iran; as the Supreme National Security Council examines the JCPOA, we will give our assessment of the deal to the SNSC,” said the Commission head, reiterating the Parliament`s necessary role in the process of JCPOA examination.
