"The official IRNA agency reported Parliament to seek reduction of relations with Great Britain on Sunday "for its hostile policy towards the country". London applied financial sanctions due to the Atomic plan."

The new financial sanctions imposed Monday passed through London to Iran - accompanied by its Western allies - due to its nuclear programme, had already generated statements of the representative of the Asian regime Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: "Do not create that her bad mood, that the fact that show the teeth and nails will make that the Iranian people stop to follow his path", to control nuclear technology, He said.

But now there is some emerging diplomatic action. According to IRNA, Parliament will ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who expelled the Ambassador of the United Kingdom in Tehran "for its hostile policy toward Iran".

The official statement goes on to say that "in these circumstances, it is not right to maintain normal relations with London".

MEPs approved by a large majority with 162 votes in favour of the 198 present legislators, a point of urgency which must ratify a new vote next Sunday, on relations with the United Kingdom.

The motion was then submitted by the President of the Commission on national security and foreign policy of the House, Alaedin Boruyerdi.

It explained that the proposal was in response to the recent decision by London to cut all financial ties with Iran and punish the Iranian Central Bank, due to the nuclear programme of Iran, the British suspect that Iran has military aspects, while Tehran says is solely civil and peaceful.

United Kingdom has tried to avoid giving Iran access to nuclear technology for peaceful use, "which was then entitled", according to vision of Boruyerdi.

"The history of the policy of London to Tehran after the Islāmic revolution of 1979 is full of betrayals and crimes, and in addition, before the revolution, the British were in the hands of the Americans in the crimes committed in Iran.

He also blamed the British for being the authors of the draft of the last resolution of UN against Iran for violations of human rights.

In another vein, Boruyerdi noted United Kingdom excluded from the list of terrorist groups, admitted as such by Iran, Iraq and even America, the Khalk Mujahideen armed organization leftist Iranian settled in Iraq and that they had the support of Saddam Hussein's defunct regime.

For Boruyerdi, United Kingdom who has moved the "illegal sanctions" imposed on Iran, so in these circumstances considered that it is not right to keep up current relations between Tehran and London.

On Monday, United Kingdom, Canada and USA announced new sanctions of finance against Iran and the European Union also last others, while Russia has pointed out that these measures are not legal and complicate any effort to engage in talks with Tehran in the nuclear field.
