Irans nuclear dossier must be referred back from the United Nations Security Council to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), says an Iranian lawmaker.Westerners have time and again witnessed goodwill gestures from Iran, so they had better work toward settling the standoff over Tehrans nuclear energy program and try to return Irans case from the Security Council to the IAEA, said Mansour Haqiqatpour, the vice chairman of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of Majlis.
The Sextet of world powers should fulfill its commitments in talks with Iran and note that Irans nuclear case should be depoliticized and allowed to run its legal course, he said.
Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council Russia, China, France, Britain and the US plus Germany are scheduled to hold the next round of nuclear talks in the Austrian capital, Vienna, on February 18.
Haqiqatpour further stressed the importance of lifting all unilateral sanctions imposed on Iran over its nuclear energy program.
He said that Iran would proceed with the path of negotiations and would not leave the negotiating table unless the Westerners and Americans intend to cause tension in the negotiations.
Iran and the Sextet of world powers inked the interim deal on Irans nuclear energy program in Geneva, Switzerland, on November 24, 2013. The deal came into force on January the 20th.
Under the deal, Iran agreed to limit certain aspects of its nuclear activities as a confidence-building measure, and the world powers undertook to provide Iran with some sanctions relief and to release more than USD 4 billion of Tehrans oil revenues.
