US angry with IAEA`s peaceful approach toward Iran: Asefi

IRNA

Tehran, Nov 18, IRNA -- Iran`s foreign ministry spokesman Tuesday sai 
the recent remarks of the US secretary of state on IAEA`s future 
session on Iran revealed the anger of the US administration with 
peaceful handling of Iran`s nuclear issues. 
Hamid-Reza Asefi said that the US official`s comment on the 
forthcoming session of IAEA`s Governing Council on Iran`s nuclear 
activities shows Washington`s anger at efforts made by international 
community to settle the issue through dialogue and cooperation, and 
and also Iran`s honesty and transparency in offering a comprehensive 
report to the agency. 
"It is clear for us that such remarks before the IAEA meeting are 
aiming at affecting the atmosphere of experts` talks and the trend of 
technical negotiations and thus politicizing the issue," Asefi said. 
He hoped the member states of the Governing Council would answer 
Iran`s goodwill and transparency in nuclear cooperation and do not let
a country to dictate its own views and opinions on the authorized 
officials. 
"The US should stop vaguely insisting on imposing its own opinions
and views on others and we believe this is the first lesson of 
democracy the United States should learn," the spokesman further 
stated.
