Iranian lawmakers are demanding transparency from Tehran, Iran's Press TV reports Sunday - urging the Islamic Republic to hand over their own fact sheet regarding the nuclear agreement with P5+1 amid conflicting reports as to its contents.
Some 212 lawmakers have issued a statement urging the publication of a fact sheet immediately, Javad Karimi Qodosi, a member of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, stated.
Publication of a fact sheet would prevent the West from "taking advantage" of the conditions and harming Iran, Qodosi added.
On Saturday, Iranian Revolutionary Guards chief General Mohammed Ali Jafari, who is considered to be one of the most influential men in Tehran, accused the US of "fraud" and "psychological warfare" in publishing a fact sheet announcing what the US claims was agreed on in the framework deal.
Jafari called the US fact sheet "a false translation" and said the US did so to deceive its allies regarding the scope of the deal; he added that the US conceded on every one of its "red lines" regarding a nuclear Iran.
Analysts have noted that both the Iranian and American fact sheets are missing a crucial point: how and when sanctions will be rolled back. Iran wants the sanctions removed immediately after the deal is signed; Washington wants a gradual rollback.
Conflicts have also been found between the American text and European fact sheets regarding the agreement.
Both EU foreign policy head Federica Mogherini's Italian text and the French text do not reference a series of limitations Washington claims will be placed on Iran's nuclear development over a ten-, fifteen-, and twenty-year period after the deal is signed; they also omit a claim in the American version stating that Iran will consistently prove to the international community that its nuclear program is peaceful.
Conflicting statements by Washington and Tehran have reportedly been the source of some tension between the two governments, and Iran's own Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei on Thursday warned the agreement was far from a done deal.
