Article 698: The proceedings of the Islamic Consultative Assembly must be open to the public and a complete report must be disseminated to the public through radio and the official newspaper. In emergencies, upon the request of either the president, or one of the ministers, or ten representatives, a closed session may be formed if the security of the country requires such. The proceedings of the closed sessions are valid if they are approved, in the presence of the Guardian Council, by three-fourths of all the representatives. After the emergency situation is over, the reports and decisions of these sessions must be published for the awareness of all.
