Hardline Iranian lawmakers yesterday called for President Hassan Rouhani to be prosecuted following the recent agreement between the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran (AEOI) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
In a meeting held to discuss the agreement, an overwhelming majority of lawmakers voted to send a report by the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission on the deal to the judiciary for review.
Tehran, Iran – Hardline Iranian lawmakers say an agreement reached recently between the government and the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog is “illegal” and the president must be punished for it.
In a public vote on Monday, an overwhelming majority of lawmakers voted to send a report by the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission on the agreement reached with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to the judiciary for review.
The report asserts that the deal struck on Sunday between the IAEA and the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran (AEOI) constitutes a “clear violation” of a law passed by Parliament in December.
