In their final session before the March 20 New Year, 260 of the 290 members of Iran’s parliament have signed a statement demanding that all sanctions on the country be removed in the case of a nuclear deal. According to Mehr News Agency, the statement has three conditions:

  • The removal of all sanctions at once, closing Iran’s nuclear file at the UN Security Council and returning it to a normal status is the first condition of a complete nuclear file.
  • The preservation of the achievements and full rights of the nuclear rights of Iran based on Article 4 of the Non-Proliferation Treaty is the demand of a united Iran.
  • In case of a violation of any of the agreements by the opposing side … the agreement becomes overruled and enrichment will take place at any level the country needs.
