Iranian MPs weighing plan to counteract US measures

Tasnim A group of Iranian lawmakers have drawn up a motion to counter US President Donald Trumps anti-Iran rhetoric and his threats to withdraw from the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers and impose sanctions on the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).

Speaking to Tasnim on Tuesday, Iranian MP Hossein Ali Hajideligani said the motion is being prepared and its finalized version will be submitted to the Parliaments presiding board next week.

The motion entails arrangements for countering the US presidents recent threatening comments about the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and the IRGC, he added, saying it also includes a series of measures to deal with the Trump Administrations possible actions.

After months of anticipation, Trump on Friday said his administration cannot and will not certify Iran's compliance with the JCPOA to Congress, as he set out a new strategy for dealing with Iran.

He also said that his new strategy begins with imposing tough sanctions on the IRGC, accusing Iran of proliferation of missiles and weapons that threaten its neighbor's global trade and freedom of navigation.

In a televised address to the nation later in the day, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani blasted the comments by Trump, reiterating that the Iranian nation will not surrender to such false statements and hate speech.
