Karroubi terms as political IAEA`s resolution on Iran

IRNA

Tehran, Sept 17, IRNA -- Majlis Speaker Mehdi Karroubi here Wednesday 
termed as `political` the resolution issued by the Board of Governors 
of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) against Iran`s 
nuclear activities. 
The IAEA Board of Governors last Friday set an October 31 deadline
for Iran to prove it is pursuing peaceful nuclear programs. 
The resolution that was submitted by Canada, Japan and Australia 
also calls on Tehran to clarify its nuclear program by the end of 
October and to suspend its uranium enrichment program. 
Addressing the 15th Nationwide Congress of IRGC Commanders and 
Officials, Karroubi stressed on the policy of detente and 
non-interference in nations` affairs, adding that the Iranian people 
will never tolerate bullying. 
The Iranian nation will never accept dominance of any foreign 
government, he reiterated, adding it has struggled for many years in 
order to be the decision-maker of its destination not to be 
controlled by others. 
The Majlis speaker said that the nation will defend the country`s 
rights, territorial integrity and independence. 
Though there would be differences in political viewpoints and 
tastes among different groups in the country, they would never 
relinquish independence at any cost, he said. 
No one can compel governments to ignore their nations` rights, 
he added. 
Karroubi further pointed to the Islamic instructions, and said 
that "we are opposed to atomic bombs but consider scientific use of 
nuclear technology as the nation`s right."
