Kharrazi: Some of MPs not justified about Iran-EU deal

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Nov 16, IRNA -- Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi said here 
Wednesday that a number of deputies at the Islamic Consultative 
Assembly (Majlis) have not been justified about the recent Iran-EU 
nuclear deal. 
Speaking after a cabinet meeting, Kharrazi told reporters that the
reason for opposition of a number of Majlis deputies towards the deal 
was probably that they have not been "fully aware of the history" of 
Iran`s talks with the other side or with "the delicate legal points of
the deal." 
They (the lawmakers) should be completely justified about the 
issue, suggested the foreign minister. 
As for the presence of the Secretary of the Supreme National 
Security Council (SNSC) Hassan Rowhani in today`s session of the 
Majlis, Kharrazi expressed hope that Rowhani`s comments and his 
explanations to the Majlis over the Iran-EU deal which was signed by 
the two sides on Nov 14, would lead to the complete justification of 
the opposing MPs. 
Reacting to the assignment of Condoleezza Rice as the US new 
Secretary of State, Kharrazi said "Rice has so far been serving as the
US national security advisor and this is different from being a 
foreign minister. We should wait and see what policy they (the 
Bush administration) will follow in their second term." 
However, argued the minister, "We are waiting to see whether she 
is still to follow her previous hostile policy or will change her 
attitude. We will be watching."
