TEHRAN - Iranian lawmakers have urged the Rouhani administration to withhold the execution of its commitments under a nuclear agreement reached with the 5+1 group of countries until the U.S. and EU sanctions against Tehran are declared null and void.

In a letter to President Hassan Rouhani on Sunday, 213 lawmakers said no practical measure should be taken with regard to the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) before U.S. President Barack Obama and the European Union officially declare the lifting of all financial and economic sanctions against Tehran, Press TV reported.

They called on the government to set up a “powerful, informed and astute” committee to supervise the JCPOA implementation.

It is expected that the government fully observe the directives issued by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on the JCPOA implementation to safeguard the Iranian nation’s interests, the letter read.
