Former Iran president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani on Friday dismissed the Thursday resolution of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors on Iran's nuclear program as "very tyrannical." Rafsanjani told multitudes of worshipers, "One should not take yesterday's event easily."
According to IRNA, he criticized certain board members for turning back to Iran and stopping support for Tehran.
"It's highly surprising and amazing some countries initially supported us and even superficially delayed the meeting for two days but then through agreement adopted what the three European states and the US wanted and nobody opposed." He went on to say, "We are now in the preliminary stage of enriching a substance which exists in our country to use the product for energy generation, medical, agricultural and other scientific purposes."
