Iran says UN should be given pivotal role in Iraq

IRNA

Tehran, Oct 6, IRNA -- Head of the National Security and Foreign 
Policy Commission of the Majlis Mohsen Mirdamadi said here on Monday 
that Tehran believes that the United Nations should be given the 
pivotal role in all affairs of Iraq and a broad-based government 
should assume the administration of the country. 
In a meeting with the visiting Chairman of the Bundestag Foreign 
Policy Committee Folker Ruhe, Mirdamadi pointed out that the Islamic 
Republic of Iran has always respected the decisions of the 
Palestinians, and believes that the Qods-occupying regime has, by 
violating recent ceasefire, made regional conditions further 
complicated. 
As for Iran`s peaceful use of nuclear energy, Mirdamadi said the 
country considered peaceful use of nuclear energy as a right and 
believe that Governing Council of the International Atomic Energy 
Agency (IAEA) should not turn it into a issue of prestige. 
He said Iran is ready to cooperate with countries possessing 
nuclear energy in the peaceful technical and scientific uses so as to 
relieve ongoing concerns. 
For his part, Ruhe said, "All countries are entitled to peaceful 
use of nuclear energy." 
He said European countries can have extensive technical 
cooperation with Iran within the framework of international 
regulations. 
He added that German political and parliamentary officials are 
keen to expand ties with Iran and are carefully following the 
country`s democratic developments. 
He highlighted Iran`s influential role in international and 
regional developments, calling for Iran`s active contribution to 
removal of regional disputes.
