Iran's parliament will review it's relations with countries that voted against its nuclear activities at the International Atomic Energy Agency last week, the speaker said Thursday. “Iran had proper cooperation with the agency's board of governors, but the recent resolution calls for careful studies on the vote in parliament's national security committee,” Ali Larijani was quoted as saying by official IRNA news agency. “Parliament will review Iran's relations with those countries that voted for the recent resolution against us.” The IAEA board angered Iran last week by censuring it for covertly building a second uranium enrichment plant near the holy city of Qom, in addition to its main IAEA-monitored one at Natanz, and calling for a halt to construction. The resolution passed by a 25-3 margin with six abstentions, smoothed by rare backing from Russia and China, which have blocked global attempts to isolate Iran, a trade partner for both, in the past. “The West's claim that Iran seeks nuclear weapon is a big lie ... Iranian nation stays firm on its chosen path,” state broadcaster IRIB quoted Larajani as saying.
