Iranian FM to brief newly-elected MPs on JCPOA implementation

Speaking to the Tasnim News Agency, Mohammad Qasim Osmani, a member of the parliament’s presiding board, said according to the board’s decision, Zarif will attend an open session of the parliament on Sunday and brief the MPs on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Osmani added that Zarif is also slated to answer to lawmakers’ questions about the impact of the JCPOA on the country’s economy.

Earlier in April, the previous parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission received a report from the Foreign Ministry on the status of implementation of the JCPOA, the comprehensive 159-page deal on Tehran’s nuclear program, over the first three months after the implementation.

Tehran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) on July 14, 2015, reached a conclusion over the text of the JCPOA.

The accord took effect in January, terminating all nuclear-related sanctions against Iran.

According to a law that requires the Iranian administration to safeguard the nation’s achievements and nuclear rights, the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission has a duty to monitor “the proper implementation” of the JCPOA, and is required to submit a report on the issue to the presiding board of the parliament every six months.
