Chairman of Iran's Majlis Committee on National Security and Foreign Policy Alaeddin Boroujerdi[/caption]A senior Iranian lawmaker says the deal between Iran and the Sextet will pave the way for referring Tehrans nuclear dossier from the UN Security Council back to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Nuclear case will be referred back to the [International Atomic Energy Agency] Board of Governors from the UN Security Council, which is a great success for us, said Aladdin Boroujerdi, the chairman of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of Irans Majlis, on Monday.
Following a report by the IAEA Board of Governors in February 2006, Mohamed ElBaradei, the former chief of the agency, transmitted his report on Irans case to the UN Security Council which led to the imposition of the first UNSC resolution against Tehran on July 31, 2006.
Iran has objected the move as illegal, calling on the IAEA to return the dossier from the UNSC to the Board of Governors of the IAEA.
Hailing the important development in the negotiations, the parliamentarian described the recognition of Irans nuclear activities as a success.
Also commenting on the Israeli officials furious reaction to the agreement, Boroujerdi said their remarks that the world is deluding itself [over the nuclear deal] show our success at the Geneva talks.
Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany sealed an interim deal in Geneva on Sunday morning to pave the way for the full resolution of the Wests decade-old dispute with Iran over the countrys nuclear energy program.
Fuming over the long-awaited deal, Israel's Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz said later on Sunday that Tel Aviv cannot participate in the international celebration, which is based on quote Iranian deception and the world self-delusion.
Senior Israeli officials, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, had mounted an extensive lobbying campaign in recent weeks to undermine negotiations between Iran and the Sextet.
During a cabinet meeting on Sunday, Netanyahu said "what was achieved yesterday in Geneva is not a historic agreement, but rather a historic mistake" that is bad for Israel.
In exchange for Iran agreeing to limit certain aspects of its nuclear activities, the United States and its allies have agreed to lift some of the existing unilateral sanctions against Iran and let the country reap billions of dollars in relief from economic sanctions over six months.
According to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, the deal allows Iran to continue its activities at Arak, Fordow and Natanz facilities. The agreement also stipulates that no additional sanctions will be imposed on Tehran over its nuclear energy program in the coming six months.
