Mehman-Parast: Resolutions against Iran not effective

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, June 8, IRNA – Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast said issuing resolutions against Iran was an illogical and irrational behavior which was regarded as ineffective by Iran.

Making the statement while talking to reporters here Tuesday, Mehman-Parast said the American officials’ tendency towards having resolutions issued against Iran was due to their incorrect policies which make them feel they have been following wrong routes leading to incorrect decisions so far.

The Tehran Declaration has taken the American officials by surprise and that is why they are so illogically insisting on another resolution, he added.

Stressing that Iran’s cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will continue as before, he said Iran, with the help of other world countries, was willing to get the NPT back to its right path.

Saying that the countries possessing atomic weapons should stand accountable to world nations, he urged the US, as the country which has world’s largest nuclear arsenal, to speedily take measures towards disarmament and said IAEA inspectors should be permitted to visit the Zionist Regime’s nuclear facilities.

Turning to the Tehran Declaration, the spokesman described it as a very valuable opportunity for all world countries to cooperate on peaceful nuclear activities.

Asked to comment on Brazil’s stance on a 4th United Nations resolution against Iran, Mehman-Parast said Turkey and Brazil have so far taken many measures in support of Iran, adding that the trend pursued by the UN Security Council was a hasty one caused by the political will of certain countries especially the United States who has been taken by surprise by the Tehran Declaration due to its own miscalculations.

On the recent information available about the situation and whereabouts of Shahram Amiri, an Iranian citizen who was abducted by the US, the Foreign Ministry spokesman said that the remarks by Amiri himself reveal the authenticity of what Iran had already offered in explanation of his case that he was abducted in a joint operation by the US and Saudi Arabian intelligence services.

He said Americans would indulge in every kind of actions and forging documents to get to their objective; an attitude which was regarded as inhuman and as contrary to international regulations by Iran.

Mehman-Parast further stressed that Iran would never allow its citizens to be treated in this manner and will surely pursue the case through different legal channels.

He went on to note that the coming visit of Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the Expo 2010 in Shanghai was not to discuss a probable resolution by the UNSC with the Chinese officials - as some media have suggested - but only to take part in Iran’s exclusive day in the event.
