Iran to voluntarily execute nuclear deal's "Additional Protocol" -- official

TEHRAN, July 27 (KUNA) -- Iran would voluntarily execute the Additional Protocol of its landmark nuclear deal until the US Congress sanctions against Tehran are removed, senior member of the Iranian nuclear team Abbas Araqchi said Monday.
Tha Additional Protocol gives IAEA's inspectors more powers to monitor Iran's nuclear plants and other facilities. It is a well-established international pact which has been adopted by 140 world countries.
Araqchi noted that the nuclear deal reached in Vienna said Iran would implement the Additional Protocol in a voluntary basis.
Araqchi said Iran considered the Additional Protocol as a document which was compiled according to the recognized international standards and as such has no problems with implementing it. (end) mw.nfm
