Iran`s Majlis committee studying plan to reduce ties with countries which voted against Iran: Iranian MP

TEHRAN, Nov.27 (MNA) – The Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee is studying a proposal to reduce diplomatic ties with those countries that voted in favor of anti-Iran resolutions, MP Fatemeh Alia, a member of the committee said. Alia said, “The Islamic Republic of Iran will definitely revise its relations with countries who are supporting our enemies.” On Wednesday Majlis overwhelmingly voted to reduce ties with Britain. The move came two days after Britain ordered all British financial institutions to stop doing business with their Iranian counterparts, including the Iranian central bank. The proposal had been ratified by the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee about a year ago and the decision was announced to the Majlis Presiding Board, but no final decision was made because the board was waiting for a change in London’s attitude toward Iran, she explained. A number of lawmakers had repeatedly called on the Majlis to ratify a plan to reduce or even sever diplomatic relations with Britain due to its hostile attitude toward Iran and its interference in the country’s internal affairs.
