Iran-Larijani-Nuclear
Secretary of Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Larijani here Monday said that those having engineered the resolution issued by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors should pay the price for it.

Speaking to reporters after Majlis session held behind closed doors, he added that now the world has various options and a new logic can be developed through diplomatic cooperation.

In response to a question about the remarks of an American senator concerning military attack on Iran, he said that experts are aware that turning to military alternative is quite unlikely and that nobody will dare to invade Iran.

He added that there is even doubt that sanctions are to be imposed against Iran.

Larijani noted that the Western states abuse the option of reporting Iran's nuclear case to the United Nations Security Council as a psychological move against the country.

Replying to a question about the `Shadow Budget', the SNSC secretary said, "This should be examined by Majlis and is no concern of the Supreme National Security Council. Besides, given the present conditions, there is no need to take such a measure."
