Addressing the Majlis open session on Sunday, Qalibaf said such measures show that the other parties are not serious about lifting anti-Iran sanctions.
Iran strongly supports the technical and legal measures taken by the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran in response to the oppressive and non-constructive resolution, he said.
He welcomed Russia’s and China’s negative votes to this resolution, saying that focusing on and neutralizing sanctions and creating economic prosperity by relying on domestic would be the most important and strongest possible response to the enemies and ill-wishers of the Iranian nation.
