TEHRAN (Tasnim) An Iranian lawmaker said that Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif would likely attend Parliament's National security and foreign policy commission's session next week.



Abbas Ali Mansouri, a member of the Iranian parliaments national security and foreign policy commission, said on Wednesday that Zarif would probably attend the commission's session next week to discuss with lawmakers the fresh US sanctions imposed in the wake of last month's nuclear deal in Geneva.

Iran and the six major world powers struck an interim deal in Geneva on November 24 that can pave the way for resolution of the Wests decade-old dispute with Iran over the countrys nuclear energy program. The goal is to create a breathing space for a comprehensive agreement to be negotiated which the sides hope can settle the standoff for good.

The interim agreement reached in Geneva sets out trust-building measures by both sides to be implemented in a six-month period, during which negotiations over the final accord must begin.

Under an interim deal signed with the United States, Russia, France, Britain, China and Germany, Iran agreed to limit uranium enrichment and allow for more inspections in exchange for minor relief from western sanctions. The G5+1 also agreed not to impose new nuclear-related sanctions during that span.
