Parliament speaker says US pressuring IAEA to deny Iran its nuclear rights

"The United States is trying to deny Iran's natural and international right to enrichment, which is recognized in the Non-Proliferation Treaty," Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf said on Thursday.

"The United States is trying to pressure the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) into releasing selective and unrealistic reports in order to manipulate public opinion and hijack the legal process in its favor," Ghalibaf said while attending the Brics Parliamentary Forum in Brasilia.
