(MENAFN) A head Iranian politician has attacked the censure resolution versus Iran by the UN nuclear watchdog’s Board of Governors as “political,” asserting that Iran’s uranium improvement to up to 60 percent was a reply to that decision.
Alireza Salimi, who is an associate of the Parliament’s ruling board, stated that Iran’s move to develop uranium up to this clarity was a “proper response” to the resolution approved by the board.
“This resolution is completely Political and lacks technical value,” Salimi stated in comments to Iran’s state news agency IRNA.
Adding, “The proponents of this resolution seek to advance their political goals and objectives through international organizations, including the International Atomic Energy Agency.”
He also mentioned, “The 60 percent enrichment of uranium by the Islamic Republic of Iran was a proper response to the resolution of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency. They should receive the answer that our position towards them is one of authority, not passivity.”
The MP pointed out, “We need to enrich uranium up to 60 percent to meet our needs in the field of fuel, medicine, etc., and this is done in order to meet the peaceful needs of the time.”
