TEHRAN, Jul. 18 (MNA) � An Iranian MP has deemed the barring of heavy water purchases from Iran by the US as a new violation of JCPOA.
Seyyed Hossein Naghavi Hosseini, Spokesman for the Iranian Parliament�s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, pointed to the legislation passed by Republican-weighted US House of Representatives to block the purchase of heavy water from Iran saying �since the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Americans have been unfaithful to the deal sparing no effort to leave Iran bereft of benefits.�
�Accordingly, they have created a chain of barriers to the agreement most of which were caused by US House representatives as well as members of the US Congress,� he continued.
The official referred to the three anti-Iran legislations passed by the US House of Representatives including the bans on selling Boeing aircraft to Iran, purchasing heavy water from Iran as well as Iran�s entrance to the market of dollar financial exchange; �these three legislations mark three rings of the chain to ignore JCPOA obligations as well as to derail the deal.�
Reiterating that these measures violate the deal, dubbed Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Naghavi Hosseini asserted �despite earlier warnings by President Barack Obama to veto such a measure, the reality remains that these legislations would maintain the Iranophobia atmosphere since they show red light to economic groups who are eager to make investments in the Iranian market.�
The Iranian MP touched upon possible�immediate actions in case the new legislations become finalized in the US Congress emphasizing �given that these measures are contrary to JCPOA provisions, necessary steps need to be taken according to the guidelines provided in the deal itself which required formation of a joint commission between Iran and the 5+1 group of countries.�
