He continued: This plan is completely compatible with international law and the conventions of 1958 and 1982. The main basis is the agreement between the two coastal countries, which is recognized by international law.
Qashqavi added: Several meetings were held in Tehran and Muscat at the minister, deputy minister, and expert levels, and fortunately, we reached an agreement with the two coastal countries on the desired corridor. The corridor that was supposed to be implemented temporarily and then become permanent.
He said: From the commission’s point of view, the expert work and review of this plan has been completed and now we are waiting for the board to put it on the agenda of the parliament floor so that it will be approved.
The spokesman of the National Security Commission of the Majlis said: It is not the case that one faction has one opinion, the other faction gives another opinion, and the government and the commission each follow a separate path. Decisions about this issue have been made at the macro level of the system with the participation of decision-making institutions. Those who comment on the removal or remaining of the ijtihad condition for the Minister of Information, must know the structure of the Islamic Republic and the Constitution. This issue is not just a decision of a minister, government or parliament, but a decision at the level of the whole system.
Qashqavi said: What happened today in the parliament and the plan changed from two urgent to one urgent provides more opportunity for expert review, so that the Ministry of Information and the government can express their opinions and the representatives can also present their suggestions.
He added: In the end, whatever decision is made about this plan, it will be the decision of the entire system, not the decision of a faction, the government or the parliament alone. Today’s vote of the parliament also showed this issue and the parliament will vote on the final text of the proposal in the next stage.
