The Iranian parliament on Sunday passed a double-urgency motion necessitating “strategic action” for lifting of the sanctions after the failure of the nuclear deal European parties to fulfill Tehran’s interests and in the wake of assassination of Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.

The Iranian lawmakers ratified the bill entitled “the strategic measure for the removal of sanctions” on Sunday.

As a motion tagged with a “double urgency” status, it was ratified with 232 votes from a total of 246 MPs attending the session, Tasnim news agency reported.

Supporters of the motion say they have proposed the bill after a phased reduction in Iran’s commitments to the nuclear deal and the Iranian president’s warning to the European parties about their support for the constant intensification of American sanctions against Tehran.

The lawmakers have also cited the American assassination of top Iranian commander Lt. General Qassem Soleimani, acts of sabotage in Iran’s Natanz nuclear site, the US’ illegal attempts to reinstate the UN sanctions on Iran, Washington’s plots to disrupt foreign cooperation with Iran, and assassination of Fakhrizadeh, the Iranian agency added.

According to the 9-artilce bill, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran will be required to produce and store at least 120 kilograms of enriched uranium with 20 percent purity level at the Fordow nuclear facility every year, and to fulfill the country’s peaceful industrial demands with uranium enriched above 20%.

Once ratified, the bill will require the AEOI to increase the monthly output of enriched uranium for various peaceful purposes with different purity levels by at least 500 kg.
