The Iranian parliament announced plans to annul the country's agreements with all the state and private firms and companies which are affiliated or somehow related to the 26 US officials sanctioned by Iran.
"The parliament intends to require Iranian economic firms to annul their deals with the companies with which the 26 American officials have direct or indirect economic ties," member of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Mohammad Karim Abedi told FNA on Monday.
Yet, the lawmaker pointed out that the plan does not include contracts on the necessary items needed by the country.
Meantime, he stressed that if Iran finds the option to supply its needs through other companies than the aforementioned ones, the Iranian companies will still be required to review those deals.
