TEHRAN (FNA)- Rapporteur of the Iranian parliament's Presiding Board Mohammad Hossein Farhangi said that the recent resolution approved by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors against Iran is not binding legally.

"The IAEA Board or Governors' resolution lacks legally-binding aspects at the international level and is more like a joke in the international atmosphere," Farhangi said on Monday.

He added that the US and Europe are concerned about Iran's influence in the region and want to contain the country more through a new round of talks "but negotiations in this atmosphere is meaningless".

Farhangi underscored Iran's good cooperation with the IAEA based on its undertakings and the nuclear deal, and said the resolution has been issued under the influence of the US and the Europeans.

On Friday, the IAEA's Board of Governors passed a resolution, put forward by Britain, France and Germany, to push for intrusive inspections of two Iranian nuclear sites that the trio claims may have been used for undeclared nuclear activities in the early 2000s.

Succumbing to Washington’s pressure, the three European countries, parties to Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), have so far failed to honor their commitments under a landmark agreement and offset the impacts of the US sanctions, which were re-imposed on Iran following the US' unilateral withdrawal from the deal in May 2018.

This is while Tehran has rejected the allegations of non-cooperation with the IAEA, insisting that it is prepared to resolve potentially outstanding differences with the IAEA.

In relevant remarks on Friday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said the EU Troika (Britain, France and Germany) are accomplices of the US and Israel, adding that they are not entitled to advise Iran.

"E3 must stop public face-saving and muster the courage to state publicly what they admit privately: their failure to fulfill even own JCPOA duties due to total impotence in resisting US bullying," Zarif tweeted.

"Behind facade, E3 are accessories to Trump and Netanyahu—and in no position to counsel Iran," he added.

Also, on Thursday Zarif wrote, "BoG should not allow JCPOA enemies to jeopardize Iran's supreme interests."

The Iranian foreign minister said that "E3 should not be an accessory, after failing own JCPOA duties."

"We've nothing to hide. More inspections in Iran over last 5 yearrs than in IAEA history," he noted.

"An agreeable solution is possible, but Res will ruin it," Zarif reiterated.
