TEHRAN, Aug. 13 -- Iranian Majlis (parliament) on Sunday overwhelmingly approved the generalities of a motion to counter U.S. pressures and its "terrorist and adventurous" acts in the region.
The general outlines of the motion were passed with 240 votes in favor and one abstention during an open parliamentary session on Sunday morning.
The Majlis ratified the motion which had been prepared by the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of Majlis in July.
According to the bill, the Iranian Foreign, Defense and Intelligence Ministries, as well as the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), IRGC Quds Forces, and the Iranian Army should work in coordination with the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) to prepare regular reports about the comprehensive measures they take against U.S. threats and its "hegemonic, terrorist and divisive" policies across the region, Tasnim news agency reported.
It also seeks to impose sanctions against a series of U.S. organizations, entities and individuals, including the U.S. military and security officials who have had a role in providing military, financial and intelligence support for "terrorist and extremist groups" in the region.
Moreover, the bill proposes plans to counter the U.S. economic sanctions, calling for closer trade interaction with the countries working with Iran.
The legislative move by Iran follows the U.S. President Donald Trump's signing of a sanctions bill on Russia, Iran and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on Aug. 2.
