Iran is threatening counter action if Obama signs a bill passed by Congress that extends sanctions on the Islamic Republic by another decade.
Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani demanded Sunday that US President Barack Obama not sign an extension of US sanctions, saying the bill is a violation of a nuclear deal between Iran and world powers.
On Thursday the US Senate voted to extend the Iran Sanctions Act by 10 years. Speaking in an open session of Iran’s parliament Sunday, Rouhani said Obama is “obliged” to let the sanctions expire.
The nuclear agreement between Iran and six world powers lifted a variety of international sanctions in exchange for limitations on the Iranian nuclear program. However, the US maintains its own separate set of sanctions, which will expire on December 31 if Obama does not sign the extension into law.
Rouhani promised a “prompt response” from Iran if the US sanctions are extended.
“We are committed to an acceptable implementation of the deal, but in response to non-commitment, violation or hesitation in its implementation, we will act promptly,” he said.
如果奥巴马签署国会通过的将伊朗伊斯兰共和国制裁延长十年的法案，伊朗正在威胁采取反击行动。
伊朗总统鲁哈尼周日要求美国总统奥巴马不签署美国制裁延期，说这项法案违反了伊朗与世界大国之间的核协议。
美国参议院星期四投票决定将伊朗制裁法延长10年。在谈到伊朗议会星期天的开放会议时，鲁哈尼说，奥巴马“有义务”让制裁到期。
伊朗和六个世界大国之间的核协议解除了各种国际制裁，以换取对伊朗核计划的限制。然而，美国维持自己的单独制裁，将于12月31日到期如果奥巴马不签署延期成为法律。
鲁哈尼承诺，如果美国的制裁得到延长，伊朗将迅速作出反应。
“我们致力于可接受地实施这项协议，但是为了回应不承诺，违反或犹豫执行协议，我们将立即采取行动。
