The US is set to circulate a draft resolution at the United Nations Security Council that will authorize the nuclear agreement between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany, a diplomat says.

The UN diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Washington announced that it would introduce the legislation at the end of closed consultations on Libya scheduled for Wednesday morning, the Associated Press reported.

Samantha Power, the US ambassador to the UN, should outline the main points in the agreement to council members, according to the diplomat.

Iran and the P5+1 group of countries -- the US, Britain, France, China, Russia and Germany -- reached a conclusion on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in the Austrian capital of Vienna on Tuesday.

The JCPOA will put limits on Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for the removal of sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

According to the text of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, Iran will be recognized by the United Nations as a nuclear power and will continue its uranium enrichment program.
