 The draft bill was passed with no opposition in a plenary session of the Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Committee. Alaeddin Boroujerdi, the Committee’s Chairman, said this move means that the parliament acts in unison in face of the US measures. Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Committee will continue to discuss details of the bill next week.

The US Senate on Thursday passed bipartisan sanction on Russia, Iran and North Korea, which will be sent to President Donald Trump to decide whether to accept or veto the measure.
