Iran says board resolution offers limited relief to hard liners

IRNA

Vienna, Nov 26, IRNA -- The resolution adopted here on Wednesday has 
been tailored to carry the views of all members of the the board of 
the International Atomic Energy Agency, offering limited and marginal 
relief to the few hard liners, said a press statement released by 
Iranian delegation to the IAEA in Vienna. 
The statement which was distributed among the reporters after 
adoption of the board`s resolution here on Wednesday, said the 
resolution is not the preferred text with its tone and content not 
being fully reflective of the positive path of cooperation that 
prevails today. 
It said the resolution, is perhaps the sole outcome that could 
be expected under the circumstances. 
The statement said the resolution is clear on certain specific 
and significant points. 
Past failures by Iran to report certain aspects of its peaceful 
nuclear program do not amount to non-compliance, it said, adding 
that the matter remains within the Agency and there is no ground for 
UN Security Council involvement. 
The statement said Iran has disclosed all aspects of its nuclear 
program in full and the passage about future serious breaches 
therefore will remain derelict and inert for good. 
The statement went on to say that the resolution makes a clear 
distinction between the past and the future, recognizing that a new 
chapter has started which is characterized by provocative cooperation 
and transparency. 
It said Iran has proved its sense of responsibility by fulfilling 
all the essential and urgent requirements and implementing remedial 
actions for its past failures. This, it added, will have to pave the 
way for normalization of relations with the IAEA. 
The Iranian delegation said Iran will be steadfast in its 
commitment of transparency and cooperation. 
It said Iran`s nuclear program is exclusively peaceful and will 
remain peaceful. Intrusive inspections will only serve to verify 
the same, it added. 
The statement said the Ministers of France, Germany and Britain 
have demonstrated their good faith in the process leading to this 
decision. 
It added, "We in Iran have done the same. It seems more likely 
than ever now that this crisis may evolve into a turning point in 
our relations with Europe and the west as a whole. This can be good 
news for our region which is currently moved in trouble and tension."
