Speaking to the Tasnim News Agency, Hosseinali Haji Deligani said the
parliamentarians have developed a motion that, if passed, would require the
Iranian administration to meet the Leader’s conditions in its diplomatic talks
with the European parties to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
Currently, more than 100 MPs have signed the motion, he said, adding that the
number of signatures is increasing.
The said that the motion is planned to be submitted to the presiding board of
the parliament after being finalized.
Titled "Receiving Guarantees from Leaders of European Parties to the JCPOA”, the
motion requires the administration to obtain the guarantees demanded by
Ayatollah Khamenei during the course of negotiations with the remaining parties
to the nuclear agreement.
According to the conditions, the European side should issue a resolution against
the US violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2231.
The EU parties should also promise not to raise the issues of Iran's missile
program and regional influence in talks with the Islamic Republic, the motion
says.
Europe should guarantee that Iran’s oil would be purchased despite US
obstructionist moves, according to the measure.
The motion also says that European banks must guarantee transactions with Iran,
and that Europe should counter any sanctions against Iran.
Europe should respect Iran’s right to resume any suspended nuclear activity in
case any of the above conditions are not met, the proposed motion further says.
In a speech from the White House on May 8, US President Donald Trump pulled his
country out of the JCPOA, which was achieved in Vienna in 2015 after years of
negotiations among Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain,
France and Germany).
Following the US exit, Iran and the remaining parties have launched talks to
save the accord.
Ayatollah Khamenei has underlined that any decision to keep the JCPOA running
without the US should be conditional on "practical guarantees” from the three
European parties to the deal.
In comments on May 23, the Leader stressed that Europeans must protect Iranian
oil sales from the US pressure and continue buying Iranian crude, and must
promise they would not seek new negotiations on Iran's missile program and
regional activities.
"European banks should safeguard trade with the Islamic Republic. We do not want
to start a fight with these three countries (France, Germany and Britain), but
based on their past records, we don't trust them either,” Ayatollah Khamenei
said.
"Europe should fully guarantee Iran’s oil sales. In case Americans can damage
our oil sales..., Europeans should make up for that and buy Iranian oil,” the
Leader stated
