Tehran, Sept 19, IRNA -- Head of Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission said here Sunday that Iran has carried out its commitments within the framework of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and has had good cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Aladdin Boroujerdi said resolution by the IAEA Board of Governors cast doubts over the IAEA Secretary General Mohammad Elbaradei "because the resolution was in contrast to the spirit of NPT."

"If the Board of Directors, which is being pressured by the US, continues its policies, then Iran will have no choice but to opt for new policies. Iran will not compromise with anybody on the people`s legitimate rights," he warned. "There is no logic at suggestion that Iran should suspend all its nuclear activities and we are of the belief that we have had effective operation the nuclear watchdog agency.

Iran has pursued confidence building measures while the country`s doors have been open to the IAEA inspectors," Boroujerdi underlined Our contacts with Europe should definitely continue while concurrently, we should pursue our peaceful nuclear program, the MP said.

On the manner of dialogue with the European trio of France, Britain and Germany, he added "we act within the framework of our national interests and our relations with the Europeans is not in the same vain as our relations with the US." However, the Europeans have shown contradictory behavior, he added.

The IAEA Governing Board has accepted the fact that we have respected and abided by all the International norms and regulation and three have been no restriction on the IAEA inspectors performing their task in the country.
The resumption of the uranium enrichment process is on the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission`s Tuesday agenda and if approved, it will be forwarded to the parliament`s open session, Boroujerdi added.

framework of the additional protocol and letting the IAEA continue inspections of its nuclear installations. In addition, the lawmakers announced through the statement that they will seriously continue working on the fuel cycle for the nuclear
power station without paying attention to such resolutions.
