IAEA, 5+1 should revise attitude toward talks: Iranian Majlis speaker

TEHRAN,Dec.2(MNA) – Iranian Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani said that the International Atomic Energy Agency and the six major powers should revise their attitude so that their negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program will produce positive results. The IAEA and the 5+1 group (the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany) should abandon their double-standard policies, Larijani stated in Tehran on Monday. He also said that the UN nuclear watchdog is “using dialogue with Iran as a tool” and this diminishes the credibility of the international organization. The main bone of contention between Tehran and the West is Iran’s uranium enrichment program. Iran says all its nuclear activities are totally peaceful, and, as an International Atomic Energy Agency member and a signatory to the NPT, it has the legal right to produce nuclear fuel for its research reactors and nuclear power plants.
