TEHRAN – MP Kazem Jalali of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee said on Wednesday that Iran will “greatly reduce” its cooperation with the IAEA in case the UN Security Council issues any new resolution against Tehran.

In an interview with the Mehr News Agency, the MP pointed out that Iran would not be obligated to do its duties fully while the UN Security Council’s decisions are “purely politically motivated”.
IAEA resolution was not proportionate with inspections
The IAEA Board of Governors adopted a resolution against Iran on September 30. The resolution criticized Iran for beginning construction of a new uranium enrichment facility at Fordo and demanded that it immediately halt its construction.
Jalali said the resolution was not based on the agency’s inspections which was declared by its former director general Mohammad ElBaradei.
The resolution was “purely politically motivated” which was ratified under a pressure from major powers, the parliamentary committee spokesman emphasized.
The Iranian cabinet has voted overwhelmingly in favor of a directive that requires the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) to formulate plans for the construction of 10 more uranium enrichment facilities on the scale of the Natanz nuclear plant within two months.
The directive envisages the construction of five plants, for which the land has already been set aside, to begin within two months.
According to the Fourth Development Plan (2005-2010), Iran’s nuclear power plants should eventually generate up to 20,000 megawatt-hours of electricity annually, so the administration should supply the power plants with the needed nuclear fuel by establishing new enrichment plants, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Sunday.
Declaration of Fordo was indicative of Iran’s goodwill
The MP emphasized the declaration of the Fordo nuclear power plant showed Iran’s goodwill.
Jalali added the relations between Iran and the United States could be improved if the U.S. provided nuclear fuel for the Tehran research reactor.
U.S. President Barack Obama could prove his goodwill by taking Iran’s nuclear dossier out of the Security Council agenda and providing nuclear fuel for the Tehran reactor, the veteran lawmaker observed.
He also reiterated that Iran will produce nuclear fuel with a purity of 20 percent if other countries decline to sell it.
According to a deal drafted by the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran would exchange a large consignment of its low-enriched uranium for 20 percent enriched uranium for the Tehran reactor, which produces radioisotopes for medical treatment.
Iran has not yet accepted the proposal insisting that there is no guarantee that the Westerners would give Iran the 20 percent enriched uranium after they take the 3.5 enriched uranium out of Iran
