Firouzabadi, listing 16 advantages of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, said he was supporting implementation despite concerns about possible �misinterpretations� by US officials that could lead to non-nuclear-related sanctions.
Firouzabadi said that the agreement with the 5+1 (US, Britain, France, Germany, China, and Russia) had recognized Iran�s right to enrich uranium, and praised the removal of sanctions on Tehran. He added that other advantages had been overlooked, such as the encouragement of non-military cooperation between Iran and other countries.
The General lauded members of the Iranian negotiating team for their �honesty and sustained efforts�.
Most members of the Iranian regime are supporting approval of the deal, but there has been resistance by some hardline MPs and clerics.

And in a sign of their criticism � if not open defiance � of the agreement, the Revolutionary Guards put a far different emphasis on Firouzabadi�s comments in their outlet Fars News: �Iran�s Military Chief Voices Concern about West�s Misuse of Vienna Deal�.
The article never refers to Firouzabadi�s statement of support for the deal.
