Breitbart: Iran Parliament Wants to Revise Nuclear Deal
While the UN Security Council passed the Iran deal in a unanimous 15-0 vote on Monday, Iran’s parliament, the Islamic Constituent Assembly, or Majlis, holds the power to revise or delay key parts of the nuclear deal with Iran–even as President Barack Obama and world powers seek a UN Security Council resolution before the U.S. Congress can review the deal.
On Saturday, the Fars News Agency reported that the Majlis threatened to reject the agreement’s provision on ballistic missiles, which call for an international embargo on missile technology to be extended for eight years–a significant, last-minute concession by the U.S.
Iran wants unrestricted ballsitic missile development and access to conventional arms dealers abroad.
“The parliament will reject any limitations on the country’s access to conventional weapons, specially ballistic missiles,” said Tehran MP Seyed Mehdi Hashemi.
In addition, the nuclear deal says that the Majlis will ratify the Additional Protocol (AP) to the Non-Proliferation Treaty–but it does not say when.
WNU Editor: As I had mentioned yesterday .... the U.S., the UN Security Council, the main stream media, etc., everyone is focused on the spirit of the deal .... in Iran they are focused on the details on what they will implement and what they will not. And while I still expect Iran to implement the full provisions of the deal .... the Supreme Leader has spoken and what he says is the law .... it is the first move by Iran to test the limits of this deal, and (I predict) they will be doing this repeatedly for the next few years.
