Iran lawmakers urges Rouhani to secure key "rights" in nuclear deal

Iranian lawmakers approved a bill on Sunday urging President Hassan Rouhani's administration to secure Iran's nuclear rights in a possible deal with world powers as the self-imposed deadline looms.

Any nuclear agreement should include the complete and immediate removal of all sanctions against the country "on the day Iran starts fulfilling its obligations," the bill was cited as reading by Press TV.

It also said that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will have no access to Iran's "military, security and sensitive non-nuclear sites, documents and scientists" under the additional protocol of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

Any agreement with the P5+1 group countries - the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia plus Germany - will be valid as long as these requirements are met in a potential nuclear deal, the bill stressed.

On Nov. 24, 2013, world powers and Iran reached an interim agreement on the latter's nuclear program, which demanded Iran suspend some sensitive nuclear activities in exchange for limited sanction relief to buy time for diplomatic efforts to resolve the issue.

Negotiators agreed on a framework of understanding in early April and set June 30 as a deadline for reaching a final deal, after missing two previous deadlines in June and November last year.

However, Iran's top officials said recently that the country is not bound by the self-imposed deadline in a run for a "good" comprehensive deal with the world powers on the country's nuclear program.

Iran's nuclear program has long been a subject of concern for Western powers, who suspect it to be geared towards developing nuclear weapons. Iran insists it has the right to develop civilian nuclear program. Endit
