Tehran, YJC. Boroujerdi says following IAEA’s positive report, Iran is not going to stop its nuclear activities.
Head
of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the Majlis Alaeddin
Boroujerdi in interview with ICANA said "The agency’s report follows the
constructive atmosphere that came to exist after the Iran-Six Majors Geneva
talks.”
Maintaining
that the IAEA Director General’s visit to Tehran did not go without some impact
on the report, he said "At the end of Amano’s meeting with Salehi, head of the
Atomic Energy Organization, a statement was issued which had been unprecedented
in the previous 10 years.”
"With
its last report, the IAEA proved to have developed a more realistic outlook
toward Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities,” the Head of the National Security
and Foreign Policy Committee of the Majlis said.
The
lawmaker added "Iran’s policy is based upon cooperation with the agency. As much
as the agency acts realistically and based on its rules as an international
entity, avoiding political pressure from the US from influencing its reports,
cooperation can be extended in the future.”
He maintained
that as the Iran-Six Majors talks rely heavily on IAEA reports, the recent
seasonal report can help create a more open atmosphere for the Geneva III
talks.
Pointing
to the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s statements about the recent
IAEA report on Iran’s nuclear activities, Boroujerdi said "There is no value to
what the Prime Minister of the Jerusalem-occupying regime says. Iran will not
halt its activities as relate to peaceful nuclear objectives.”
The
IAEA had in its quarterly report stated that after Hassan Rouhani was elected
president, Iran had halted expanding its nuclear activities.
