‘Iran may consider limiting cooperation with IAEA greatly’
TEHRAN, Nov. 29 (MNA)– The Iranian Parliament Speaker, Ali Larijani, warned the 5+1 group on Sunday that if they do not revise their policy toward Iran in regard to its nuclear program, Tehran will consider new options.
The remarks by Larijani came as the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Board of Governors, under a pressure by the West, adopted a resolution against Iran on Friday. The resolution criticized Iran for beginning construction of a new uranium enrichment facility at Fordo, and demanded that it immediately halt its construction.
“Do not imagine that such old and outdated games will create a new opportunity for bargaining chip for you; and you should not act in a way that the Majlis and the Iranian nation adopt another option and reduce cooperation with the agency greatly,” Larijani explained.
The resolution showed that what whims the United States and a number of other Western countries had in their mind about exchanging low enriched uranium for a 20 percent enriched uranium for the Tehran nuclear reactor, Larijani noted.
This resolution showed that they were seeking a kind of “political cheating” otherwise they should have thanked Iran for declaring the Fordo nuclear site earlier than the legally allowed time rather than using it as a pretext to issue resolution against Iran.
He said the resolution showed that Iran should act more cautiously in the face of “opportunistic proposals” put forward by them.
The speaker also said, “We will carefully monitor your next measures and if (you) do not give up the ridiculous carrot and stick policy we will adopt a new approach in our behavior with you.”
