Tehran, YJC. Senior lawmaker says the draft bill obliging Iran’s nuclear negotiators to preserve Iran’s nuclear rights is against the Supreme Leader’s guidelines.
IRNA
reports that Ali Motahari in reaction to a double-urgency draft bill by the Majlis
said that it is not advisable to oblige the negotiation team to observe the nuclear
rights by using such a bill and added "It is not within the privileges of the Majlis
lawmakers to bring up such a draft.”
"In
this draft, the Majlis has put itself in the shoes of the negotiation team and
it seems as though it has composed the text for agreement with the 5+1 group,
placing itself at one side of the negotiations, while that is not within the
responsibilities of the Majlis at all,” he asserted.
"They
wanted so to hobble the Iranian negotiators,” he maintained, adding "The draft
is against the major policies of the state and the Supreme Leader’s guidelines,
because in it, the Majlis has sort of obliged the negotiation team, while the
state has given the negotiation team the right to give advantages where things
are not vital for the Islamic Republic in order to be able to gain advantages
in return.”
Motahari
further said "I do not think that the draft will be mentioned in the Majlis; because
many of the signatory have later understood the nature of the draft and
demanded to take their signatures back.”
The
draft obliging the government to preserve the nuclear rights was presented to
the Majlis Board of Directors with 110 signatures last Tuesday.
