Iran ready to revise cooperation with IAEA

Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said Tehran will certainly review relations with the UN nuclear watchdog agency after its irrational censure of Tehran over nuclear activities."If the agency acts within the framework of the charter, we accept that we are a member of it and will carry out our responsibilities. But if the agency wants to deviate from its responsibilities then it should not expect our cooperation," Larijani said. He said that the pressure imposed by the United States and the West would not affect the continuation of Iran's nuclear program. The International Atomic Energy Agency passed a resolution on Friday against Iran, although the resolution was weak and did not include any punitive measures. The resolution came after IAEA Chief Yukiya Amano released a US-dictated report against Iran in a move seen by many as pure service to the US and Israeli regime, although his report did not state that Iran has been moving towards nuclear military goals. Once the report was released, not only Iran, but also many world states, including Russia, China and the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) member states, strongly rejected it and blasted the UN nuclear watchdog chief for acting as a White House proxy. Iran also said that it would not budge "an iota" from its peaceful atomic activities. Iranian officials and parliamentarians condemned the US-worded report and threatened to withdraw from the IAEA.
