January 16, The Iran Project � In reaction to Obama's renewing the US national emergency against Iran, a number of Iranian parliamentarians have stressed that his recent anti-Iran action sowed further distrust in Tehran-Washington relations.

U.S. President Barack Obama extended on Friday the national emergency on Iran for another one year, citing continuous threat being posed by Iran to the U.S. even after the landmark nuclear deal that was struck between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries on July 14, 2015.

Irrespective of the JCPOA, which continues to ensure that Iran's nuclear program is and remains exclusively peaceful, certain actions and policies of the Government of Iran continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States,� the outgoing president added.

Obama's continuing the US National Emergency on Iran a year after the implementation of the nuclear deal shows the ongoing hostility between US and the Islamic Republic, said an Iranian lawmaker, Mohammad Javad Jamali Nobandegani, in reaction to the US outgoing president's action.

He further emphasized that we should not wrongly assume that JCPOA can be the end of US hostilities against Iran, adding it was solely a deal on nuclear activities.

Touching upon Obama's extending national emergency on Iran, Shahrouz Barzegar, another Iranian parliamentarian called America's anti-Iran measure, natural, saying this is not the first time that the US has taken such aggressive actin against the Islamic Republic.

US is trying to interfere in Iran's affairs, including missile activities, and make the country follow its policies in the region, but Iran is an independent� country having its on foreign policies, he noted.

Davood Mohammadi, the other member of Iran's Majlis, also urged Iran's government to take countermeasure against US renewing national emergency against Iran.
