TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani underlined that all the sanctions imposed against Tehran by the western countries have to be removed concurrent with the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the nuclear deal.

"Based on the nuclear agreement (reached between Tehran and the world powers), we should witness removal of all sanctions after the implementation of the JCPOA," Larijani said, addressing an open session of the parliament on Sunday and as the ad hoc committee tasked with studying the Iran-powers nuclear agreement presented its report.

The parliament speaker thanked the parliamentary committee for its hard efforts to clarify the different aspects of the plan, and called on the lawmakers to expedite reviewing the JCPOA.

He reiterated that the Supreme National Security Council should also comment on the JCPOA.

Larijani further outlined the aspects of the double-urgency bill that the lawmakers should consider during the parliament's upcoming sessions.

The parliament approved a single-urgency bill for declaring the results of its studies over the JCPOA today.

The bill called 'Iranian government's reciprocal and proportional action' was proposed on the basis of a double-urgency, but lawmakers approved it as a single-urgency bill.

The bill allows the government to implement the JCPOA voluntarily based on the decision of the country's Supreme National Security Council.

On September 22, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif called on the Group 5+1 (the US, Russia, China, France and Britain plus Germany) to fulfill their commitments concerning the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

"How to implement the JCPOA is of utmost importance; the time is ripe for the six world powers, specially those who have imposed unjust sanctions against Iran to take practical measures to bring about a fundamental and tangible change in their approach towards Iran based on UN resolution 2231, which turned the JCPOA into an official document," Zarif said upon his arrival in New York.

The Iranian foreign minister travelled to New York to attend a UN meeting to follow up the implementation of the JCPOA clinched between Tehran and the G5+1 in Vienna on July 14.

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Seyed Abbas Araqchi and Hamid Baeedinejad, the director general for political affairs at the Iranian Foreign Ministry, also accompanied Zarif in his visit to New York.

Zarif said that Iran and the G5+1 would hold meetings at the ministerial level in New York to pursue the implementation of the JCPOA, adding, "If needed, experts from the two sides will also convene a meeting to determine what measures should be taken on the removal of sanctions as well as the issue of redesigning the Arak heavy water reactor."

Under the JCPOA, limits will be put on Iran�s nuclear activities in exchange for, among other things, the removal of all economic and financial bans against the Islamic Republic.

Iran and the G5+1 succeeded in finalizing the text of the JCPOA in the Austrian capital on July 14.
