She mentioned that the cleric regime‘s main intention in reaching the Geneva accord was only to loosen the international sanctions, but this agreement has only delayed program to acquire nuclear bomb.
The regime has been able to maintain its atomic sites and even enhance its enrichment capacity, while it continues its ballistic missile program without any worry.
The Parliamentarians referring to growing repression and executions in Iran emphasized that calling Rohani a moderate president is an illusion.
