TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif is scheduled to attend a session of the country’s parliament to discuss the text of a comprehensive nuclear deal finalized by Tehran and world powers on July 14, an Iranian lawmaker announced.

Seyed Hossein Naqavi Hosseini, rapporteur of the parliament’s special commission for reviewing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), told the Tasnim News Agency that the foreign minister will attend the session on Sunday morning.

He said Deputy Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araqchi is also planned to take part in a session on Monday morning.

Members of the special commission are scheduled to have a visit to Arak nuclear facilities later on Monday, he went on to say about the commission’s plans.

The Tuesday morning session, he stressed, will be attended by the economic team of President Hassan Rouhani’s administration including his Chief of Staff Mohammad Nahavandian, Central Bank of Iran (CBI) Chief Valiollah Seif, Economy Minister Ali Tayyebnia, and Bank Melli of Iran (BMI) Chief Abdolnasser Hemmati.
Security and defense officials will also take part in the Tuesday afternoon session to review the implications of JCPOA.

Iranian negotiators have already attended a number of sessions in the parliament to explain and review the JCPOA, and the sessions are planned to continue into next week, when a report will be released on the commission’s scrutiny of the text.

The JCPOA, whose text was finalized in Vienna on July 14, has subjected the parties to comply with a series of commitments, resulting in the termination of sanctions on Iran in exchange for certain restrictions on Tehran’s nuclear program during a defined period of time.
