Iranian minister calls IAEA resolution immature

IRNA

Tehran, Sept 13, Itar-Tass/ACSNA/IRNA -- Iranian Foreign Minister 
Kamal Kharrazi has said the resolution that the Board of Governors of 
the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) passed in connection 
with Iran`s nuclear program was immature. 
Kharrazi said in a statement Saturday the IAEA should have 
completed investigation regarding the Iranian nuclear endeavors and 
should have drawn certain conclusions before passing any anti-Iranian 
documents. 
In the absence of such conclusions, all resolutions must be 
regarded as politically motivated acts of pressure on Tehran, he 
indicted. 
The natural consequence of this is that the Iranian government 
will now be considering the future prospects for cooperation with the 
IAEA, Kharrazi said. 
He underscored at the same time his country`s readiness to 
cooperate with IAEA experts in the future so as to clear out all 
controversial issues. It is only after the sides try to clear out the 
complexities that the agency`s governors should pass conclusive 
decisions on Iran, Kharrazi said. 
The IAEA Board of Governors passed a resolution demanding that 
Iran step up cooperation with the agency, make its nuclear program 
fully transparent, and sign a supplementary protocol to the nuclear 
nonproliferation treaty without delay.
