Ali Khazarian, a member of the Iranian regime\u2019s Majlis (parliament), said in an interview with the state-run Asre Iran daily on Saturday saying, \u201cCurrently, Majlis members are signing a bill that obliges the government to exit the Additional Protocol.\u201d<\/p>\n

This MP further explained about Tehran\u2019s possible pullout of the 2015 nuclear deal, known formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JPCOA) and a bill in this regard. \u201cThis issue must be technically evaluated in the Majlis National Security Commission, taking into consideration our current circumstances. However, for us to remain in the JCPOA framework or if we decide to pull out of this agreement, we need to seek solutions for our domestic issues,\u201d he added, shedding more light on regime officials\u2019 growing concerns about internal issues rendering a new round of nationwide protests even more dangerous for the regime than the\u00a0November 2019 uprising<\/a>\u00a0that spread across the country like a massive forest fire.<\/p>\n
