Iran parliament to oppose UN resolution

Tehran, Dec 23: Iran's parliament speaker said today parliament would alter Iran's relationship with the United Nations's IAEA nuclear watchdog if the UN Security Council issued a resolution against Iran.

The UN Security Council plans to vote today on a resolution imposing sanctions on Tehran's nuclear work, which the West suspects is aimed at making nuclear weapons. Iran says its programme is peaceful.

''If they intend to deprive Iranian nation of its certain right to nuclear technology by a resolution ... parliament will reconsider the nature of its relationship with the IAEA,'' Parliament Speaker Gholamali Haddadadel told state television.
