Iran's Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi said Wednesday that the resolution draft proposed by European states to the International Atomic Energy Agency is what the US demanded.
Kharrazi made these remarks upon his arrival from Turkey where he attended the 31st foreign ministerial meeting of member states of the Organization of the Islamic Conference.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran protested against the resolution," he said, according to IRNA.
Iranian President Mohammad Khatami forwarded a letter to European states on the importance of keeping their promises, he said.
"If member states of IAEA's board of governors think logically and decide in relation with documents, Iran's nuclear dossier should be closed in the shortest time.
"If current problems in Iran's nuclear case would be settled, there would be no reason to put the issue on the agenda of the agency," the Iranian minister conveyed.
He noted that member states of the IAEA's board of governors should act in accordance with their commitment and not be affected by American pressures.
"Tehran will do its utmost to cooperate with the board of governors and we could settle problems through transparency," Kharrazi stated.
"Continuation of Iran's efforts depend on keeping up the promises by the other side. If such a matter is supposed to be unilateral, it surely cannot be sustainable," he said.
