TEHRAN - The proposal calling for sanctions to be imposed on 26 U.S. officials involved in human rights violations has been submitted to the Majlis Presiding Board, MP Kazem Jalali announced on Wednesday.

Over two hundred lawmakers have signed the proposal, Jalai, the rapporteur of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, told reporters in Tehran.
The plan will be discussed in the open session of the Majlis on July 24, he added.
The 26 sanctioned officials are Thomas J. Pickard, Geoffrey D. Miller, Jeffrey Harbeson, William C. Rogers III, Frank Gardiner Wisner, Paul Bremer, Donald Henry Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, Paul Dundes Wolfowitz, John (Jack) M. Keane, Richard A.Cody, Ricardo Sanchez, Tommy Ray Franks, David Howell Petraeus, Raymond T. Odierno, Janis Leigh Karpinski, Stanley Allen McChrystal, Jack L. Briggs II, Louis Joseph Freeh, Robert Mueller, James L. Jones, Peter J. Schoomaker, Stuart A. Levey, James N. Mattis, Steven Casbolt, and George William Casey, Jr.
Late in May, it was announced that the sanctions would include freezing of assets and travel ban on the officials in question.
In addition, the proposal stipulates that the Iranian Judiciary must try these officials in the courts of the country on charges of crimes against humanity, human rights abuses, and drug smuggling.
The national prosecutor general would be obliged to submit the list of those officials and the relevant documentation to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry would also be tasked with overseeing the implementation of the process at international forums.
Meanwhile, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) must enlighten world public opinion about the atrocities that these people have committed.
Moreover, a committee will be set up of representatives from the Intelligence Ministry, the Interior Ministry, the Foreign Ministry, IRIB, National Police, the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee as well as the Majlis Legal and Judicial Committee to make sure that the provisions of the proposal are implemented.
The national prosecutor general will chair the committee.
The committee should give a regular report on its activities to the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee.
Leader’s view on Iran-U.S. relations should be adhered to
Elsewhere in his remarks, Jalali commented on relations between Iran and the United States, saying that the opinion of the Supreme Leader in this regard should be adhered to.
He also said, “Having relations with the U.S. does not benefit the Islamic Revolution, the causes of the late Imam (Khomeini, the Founder of the Islamic Republic), and regional developments.
