(FNA)- The Iranian legislature on Monday started litigation against President Rouhani's administration over a paragraph in the agreement between the country’s Atomic Organization and the UN nuclear watchdog on ending Tehran's voluntary implementation of the Additional Protocol to the NPT.
Some 221 Iranian legislators voted to send a report of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission that entails a legal complaint on the government's violation of the Strategic Action Law on Lifting Sanctions to the Judiciary, calling for the punishment of those responsible for the agreement.
The Joint Statement of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has also been enclosed to the complaint to demand the Judiciary to verify the violation.
Iran plans to end its voluntary implementation of the Additional Protocol to the NPT on Tuesday and the AEOI-IAEA agreement that came at the end of the IAEA Director General Raphael Grossi to Tehran on Sunday night also endorsed the move. Yet, the legislature's dissatisfaction with the agreement mainly pertains to a paragraph that says Tehran will cut off online transfer of data by IAEA surveillance cameras, but continues recording for three months. If sanctions are removed by then, Tehran will deliver the recordings and data to the IAEA, and if not, they will be discarded. The IAEA surveillance cameras and online data transfer is part of the inspections carried out under the additional protocol to the NPT, which Iran has been implementing on a voluntary basis as part of the nuclear deal undertakings.
“The joint agreement and statement of the International Atomic Energy Agency and the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran is a clear violation of the law on strategic action to lift sanctions and protect the interests of the Iranian people, and we request an interim cancellation by the Judiciary,” the legislature's complaint sent to the judiciary said.
It added that President Hassan Rouhani, as head of the executive, is charged with the implementation of the parliaments approvals, and should, hence, account for the violation alongside all others involved in this violation.
Tehran will stop the voluntary implementation of the additional protocol to the NPT on Tuesday after the Biden administration refrained from removing the sanctions against Iran in compliance with the terms of UN Resolution 2231 and the nuclear deal...............https://www.farsnews.ir/en/news/13991204000477/Iranian-Parliamen-Files-Cmplain-a-Jdiciary-agains-Gv'-IAEA-Agreemen
