Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani said on Monday that the recent security pact signed by the US and Iraq would cause crisis in Iraq as well as the entire region.
Speaking to reporters, he said this is the legitimate rights of the Iraqi parliament to question the deal.
Although some clauses of the US-Iraq security pact have been amended but there are numerous problems which would create obstacles for the Iraqi nation as well as the Middle East region, he said.
The main weak point of US-Iraq security pact which can damage the country's sovereignty is the issue of capitulation, he said, adding that the Americans have promised to remove Iraq from Chapter Seven of UN Charter but not date has been fixed for this.
Americans have made many false promises to the Iraqi people, Larijani said.
According to the US-Iraq security pact, the US troops are not under control or supervision of Iraqi forces and they can enter and leave the country with their own ID documents, he said.
They are even allowed to carry out their cargoes or belongings inside and outside Iraq without any permission from Iraqi authorities, he said.
It is quite natural that every country should monitor and control transfer of assets into and outside its territory, Larijani pointed out.
The Americans are now behaving Iraq as an occupied country which is an unjustifiable act for the Iraqi government and nation, he said.
