Majlis Speaker Mehdi Karroubi said Monday that efforts to forward Iran`s nuclear case to the UN Security Council are rooted in the "Zionist and US consultations and lobbying". "Pressures are politically-motivated. Efforts to refer Iran`s case to the United Nations Security Council is a move against Tehran Declaration and the Europeans` opinion," he told parliamentary reporters, according to IRNA.
"Such measures which are taken due to the US lobby indicate that they seek to determine the fate of others and in their eyes the Zionists and Sharon are the symbols of democracy," he added.
Asked about possible measures Iran would adopt if the international Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) fails to fulfill its promises, Karroubi said, "We would answer it firmly as Foreign Ministry spokesman has said. However, we should wait for the answer of the system`s officials." (Albawaba.com)
