200 lawmakers reject IAEA resolution

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Sept 19, IRNA -- More than 200 lawmakers in a statement here 
Sunday rejected a resolution passed by the International Atomic 
Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors regarding Iran`s nuclear 
issue. 
The statement was read by a member of the Majlis Presiding board, 
Alireza Zakani, at the Majlis open session here today. 
According to the document, the lawmakers also regretted the 
improper response of the Board of Governors to Iran`s goodwill in 
assuring the international community of Iran`s intent to use 
nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. 
"They also warned the board of governors that if they continue 
their present policy they cannot expect the Additional Protocol to be 
ratified," added the statement. 
It further said that the illegal resolution makes Iran consider 
revising its policy towards continuing its obligations within the 
framework of the additional protocol and letting the IAEA continue 
inspections of its nuclear installations. 
In addition, the lawmakers announced through the statement that 
they will seriously continue working on the fuel cycle for the nuclear
power station without paying attention to such resolutions. 
The statement underlined: "In case the IAEA Board of Governors 
continues with its current policy, Majlis will make appropriate 
decisions in response."
