The resolution adopted by the UN nuclear watchdog on Iran's nuclear activities is unfair, declared Secretary General of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Hassan Rowhani here on Saturday. The U.N. atomic watchdog condemned Iran on Saturday for withholding sensitive nuclear information, in a resolution that diplomats said leftthe option of U.N. sanctions if Tehran did not cooperate.

Hassan Rowhani  Secretary General of Iran's Supreme National Security Council said at a press conference that the resolution falls short of recognizing Iran's extensive cooperation with the IAEA over the past months and what it reflects are beyond realities.

The IAEA Board adopted a resolution under the US and Zionist lobby on Saturday, condemning Iran for alleged atomic energy activities. Theresolution, adopted without voting and despite strong differences among the members, suffers certain flaws and falls short of taking Iran's case to the UN Security Council.

Since October 21st, when Tehran became a signatory to a crucial declaration with the European Union's trios -- Britain, Germany and France -- Iran has had extensive cooperation with the IAEA.

Iran hit back, saying the reason it had suspended U.N. nuclear inspections on Friday was to show its displeasure at the resolution, then in draft form. The inspectors were barred "for the time being," chief nuclear negotiator Hassan Rohani said.

"The reason for postponing the inspectors' visit was the approval of this resolution and we wanted to show that we are not satisfied," said Rohani, who had earlier said the document was "like an ugly demon with dangerous horns and sharp teeth."

The resolution by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) "deplores" Iran's omissions of key atomic technology from an October declaration, including undeclared research on advanced "P2" centrifuges that can make bomb-grade uranium.

The resolution passed after a week of haggling over a tough text drafted by Australia and Canada and backed by Washington, which says Iran is trying to build atomic weapons. European and non-aligned states, Russia and China wanted milder wording.

Iran says its program is for peaceful purposes only.

Amir Zamaninia, a senior foreign ministry official, told reporters the halt to inspections was partly a reaction to the fact "that this resolution was a bad one, a bad resolution," he said. "We need to work in Tehran to try to digest this."

On a more conciliatory note, Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi said Washington had been forced to compromise. "We hope that the remaining ambiguities are resolved and the situation becomes normal so that Iran can use this technology for peaceful purposes," he said.

One of the points the U.S.-led camp had insisted on in the resolution was a paragraph detailing the military connection to Iran's nuclear, but the final version left this out  a victory for the on-ligneNAM, Russian and Chinese negotiators.

IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei also voiced cautious optimism.

"I am pretty confident that Iran will understand that we need to go within (our) time schedule and that the decision to delay the inspections will be reviewed and reversed in the next few days," he saidTehran voluntarily suspended its uranium enrichment program and signed up to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) one month after the November meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors, when the US failed to push the dossier to the UNSC through the members.
