Boroujerdis comments came after the US Senate on Thursday overwhelmingly passed legislation which willmake it possible for Congress to review and potentially reject a final deal with Iran over its nuclear program.

The bill gives Congress 30 days to review a final nuclear deal after Iran and the P5+1 countries reach such an agreement, and during that time bars President Barack Obama from temporarily waiving any US sanctions on Iran that were passed by Congress.

Iran and the P5+1 group of countries -- the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany -- reached a mutual understanding on the parameters of a comprehensive agreement over the Islamic Republics nuclear program in Lausanne, Switzerland, on April 2.

Iran and the six-party group have agreed to finalize a comprehensive deal on Tehrans nuclear program by the end of June.
