“By issuing this resolution, those who claim [to be the advocates of] human rights want to deflect world public opinion from the crimes committed in Libya, Bahrain and other Islamic countries,” said Hassan Norouzi on Saturday.

Another parliamentarian Yousef Nadjafi dismissed the resolution as politically motivated.

“This resolution is completely political, and the US as well as [other] Western countries are behind it, seeking to inflict harm on the democratic establishment of the Islamic Republic [of Iran],” he said.

The lawmaker underlined that the adoption of politically-tainted resolutions with no legal foundation would undermine regional and international institutions.

Sa'dollah Nassiri Qeidari, another lawmaker, decried the anti-Iran UN resolution, dismissing it as a “sinister” Western plot.

He said hegemonic powers use the UN as a tool to achieve their unholy objectives.

“Given the situation in the region and the awakening of the people of Islamic countries, hegemonic powers such as the US, Britain and France are trying to use such political and biased resolutions to tarnish the image of the Islamic Republic of Iran and deflect public opinion from the Islamic Revolution,” he further added.
