Deadline for lifting the sanctions

Despite the opposition of the Iranian government, the passage of the Strategic Action Law in parliament has set a deadline for the Iranian diplomats of the government, and of course the troika of Europe, Russia, China and the US. Some critics have described the passage of the law as disregard for Iran-US diplomacy and opportunities to improve relations. However, the lawmakers continue to insist on enforcing the law. In this regard, Alireza Zakani stressed the need to implement the parliament’s Action Plan in his midterm speech:
“With the necessary sagacity, the parliament approved the Strategic Action Plan for the lifting of the oppressive sanctions, based on the step-by-step implementation of the nuclear capabilities and the recourse to the new abilities. If it is the case that the US, Britain, France and Germany do not move on, they will see Iran’s farewell to the Additional Protocol in March and the departure of the IAEA observers in addition to what we have announced in the NPT. Therefore, the JCPOA knot will be opened only with the lifting of sanctions and the initiative of parliament opening the field of action for the country’s officials.” Emphasizing that ‘lifting of the sanctions is the prerequisite of JCPOA survival’, Zakani added, “The era of fooling nations and imposing insults on them is over. At least it will not be repeated for the Islamic Iran.”
