An Iranian lawmaker says that the International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors obeys the orders of the global arrogance.

Commenting on the recent IAEA resolution calling for Iran to halt construction of its new uranium enrichment plant at Fordo, MP Ali Zanjani-Hassanlou told IRNA on Sunday that the IAEA Board is only trying to hinder the progress of young Iranian scientists in the field of nuclear energy meant for peaceful purposes.

“The international community is well aware (of the fact) that the IAEA Board is politicizing Iran's case by telling lies,” he added.

On Sunday, the Iranian parliament passed a motion which calls on the government to downgrade its cooperation with the IAEA in response to the recent resolution.

Before the latest action, three rounds of UN Security Council resolutions were issued calling for the Islamic Republic to halt its enrichment activities.

Tehran denies the allegations that its civilian nuclear program is a cover for a nuclear weapons program and has actually called for the eradication of all weapons of mass destruction across the globe.
