Chairman of Majlis (Iranian parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi underlined Iran's firm stance on single-phase removal of all sanctions by the world powers, IRNA reported.
'The Islamic Republic of Iran will not withdraw from its stance on removal of sanctions concurrent with striking a final agreement with the west,' Boroujerdi said.
In early February, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seed Ali Khomeini underlined that Iran will never accept a bad agreement with the world powers, but the country is in favor of a single-phase comprehensive deal which would respect the Iranian nation's inalienable rights and entail all details.
'I agree with an agreement if it can be struck, but I disagree with a bad agreement,' the Supreme Leader said in a meeting with the commanders and personnel of the Iranian Air Force and Air Defense in Tehran.
He pointed to the US officials' remarks that 'disagreement is better than a bad agreement', and said, 'We believe the same and we believe that not agreement is better than striking an agreement that would harm the national interests and pave the way for humiliating the great Iranian nation.'
Ayatollah Khomeini referred to the efforts underway by the Iranians to remove the sanctions in their talks with the six world powers, and said, 'If this happens and the enemy gives up the weapon of sanctions it will be very good, but if this doesn't happen there are (still) many ways to slow down the impact of the US-led embargoes.'
