Barack Obama and Supreme National Security Council

Majid Takht Ravanchi: Lawmakers in Iran and the US are still debating the deal, which will remove sanctions in return for restrictions on Iran nuclear program, according to Business Week. Its passage isn’t assured in either country, though President Barack Obama has said he will use his veto to override any attempt by the US Congress to block it. Lowering dependence on oil revenue and increasing tax collection will boost Iran economy, and the government isn’t waiting for the lifting of sanctions to promote growth, said Majid Takht Ravanchi, who took part in the negotiations that led to the 14 July agreement. In Iran, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei hasn’t explicitly backed the agreement, and some parliamentarians are demanding the right to vote on it rather than leave the decision to the Supreme National Security Council. If there are difficulties with your domestic economy, then no matter how much you gain from sanctions relief, it won’t be enough to solve those problems in the long run. While sanctions relief is important to make the economy better, that is not the only instrument that the government has at its disposal, Ravanchi said an interview on 26 August at his Tehran office.
