US President Barack Obama accepted to sign the new bill after some changes were made.
According to the legislation, President Obama should submit the final nuclear deal between Iran and the six world powers for congressional review and he would not be allowed to lift sanctions levied by Congress against Iran during the review period.
Velayati further dismissed the idea that Obama in under pressure from Congress to sign the bill since both Democrats and Republicans unanimously approved the legislation.

Iran will not yield to any imposition from the US or any other country over its nuclear program, he said.
