Iran MPs want reduced ties with UN atomic watchdog (29/11/2009)
Iranian lawmakers on Sunday demanded the government of hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reduce ties with the UN atomic watchdog after it censured Tehran for building a new nuclear plant.
Condemning a resolution issued by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Friday as "political and lacking consensus," MPs also demanded that Tehran continue its controversial nuclear programme "without any halt."
In a separate move aimed at the West, parliament approved 20 million dollars in funding to expose alleged US and British human rights abuses.
State television said 226 lawmakers in the 290-member conservative-dominated parliament signed a declaration demanding the government draw up "a quick plan to reduce the level of cooperation with the IAEA and submit it" to the house.
The lawmakers condemned the IAEA and its resolution.
