Iran-Nuclear-Suspension
Head of Majlis Commission on National Security and Foreign Policy Alaeddin Boroujerdi said on Saturday that the so-called "time out" proposal is not suitable to settle the nuclear dispute.
"The time-out proposal had been offered by some governments, but, Iran has rejected it so far."
The time-out proposal had called for enrichment suspension in return for a halt to economic sanctions on Iran.
On possible shift in UK diplomacy towards Iran's peaceful nuclear program, he said, "We should wait and see what kind of shift the new British government will make in this regard."
He recalled the public grievances in Britain about the former government's hostile attitude toward Iran, saying that the former prime minister Tony Blair was under sharp criticism of the British people over Iraq war and its conduct of Iranian nuclear program.
He expressed the hope that the new UK government to adopt rational approach in dealing with international developments.
He said Britain is known for drafting the anti-Iran resolutions of the Security Council.
Boroujerdi also called the invitation of IAEA inspectors to Iran to resolve the outstanding issues between Iran and the UN nuclear agency as a positive move in consolidating cooperation.
He expressed the hope that the issue would be resolved through rational means.
