Tehran, Dec 6 : The Iranian Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) has endorsed a Parliament-ratified “Strategic Action to Lift Embargoes” law, intended to reduce international monitoring of the country’s nuclear program if embargoes were not lifted in the next two months.
“The aforementioned law does not create a specific issue that damages national interests,” Xinhua news agency quoted a statement by the SNSC as saying following the endorsement on Saturday.
What is contrary to national interests and is a matter of concern, the statement said, are controversies that “undermine the dignity and status of the country’s legal institutions and damage national unity and cohesion”.
The SNSC therefore called on all internal Iranian parties to end “fruitless quarrels”, and warned it will not allow national interests to be endangered by “political games”.
The organ underlined that its secretariat has not been involved in the making of the law.
All procedures, it further said, have taken place in accordance with Parliament’s regulations and customary norms.
