Ayatollah Khamenei: Parl. strategic act to counter sanctions prevented bewilderment in nuclear issue

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the strategic law adopted by the Iranian Parliament in 2020 to counter sanctions saved the country from “bewilderment in nuclear issue”.

In a meeting with lawmakers in Tehran on Wednesday, Ayatollah Khamenei hailed the strategic laws passed by the parliament, including the Strategic Action Plan to Counter Sanctions.

“The strategic action law saved the country from bewilderment in the nuclear issue,” the Leader said. “This law clearly defined what we should do and we are witnessing its manifestations in the world.”

Under the legislation, which was approved in December 2020, the Iranian administration is required to restrict the inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and accelerate the development of the country’s nuclear program beyond the limits set under the 2015 nuclear agreement. It was adopted in a bid to counter illegal sanctions imposed on Iran by the United States and its Western allies.
