Iran top nuclear official says no need to ratify nuclear agreement

31 July 2015 [16:15] - TODAY.AZ

The head of the country’s Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI) underlined that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), signed by Iran and P5+1 on July 14 is not an international agreement to be ratified in Parliament.

Ali Akbar Salehi the head of AEOI said on July 31 that this entity has translated the technical part of JCPOA (which originally has been written in English based on comprehensive nuclear agreement) and the Foreign Ministry has translated the other parts, then the text was sent to Parliament in Persian to be recognized by lawmakers, but it doesn't mean that parliament would ratify it.

Salehi's statement came while some hardliner members of parliament accused the Hassan Rouhani's administration of censoring some parts of the JCPOA during the translation process. They also want to ratify the nuclear agreement like the U.S. Congress will.

The remarks came as Iran and the Group P5+1 (the US, Russia, China, Britain and France plus Germany) reached a nuclear deal on July 14 and to pave the way to the restrictions be removed next year if the deal is approved by the U.S. Congress and the International Atomic Energy's inspectors confirm that Iran is in compliance with the limits to its nuclear activities.
