Mansouri told the Mehr News Agency that Washington intends to achieve its political goals and pressure Iran by means of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The official stressed that the U.S. has always tried to antagonize Iran in different ways, adding that the U.S. has already pushed through the approval of a UN resolution accusing Iran of violating human rights.
"The rivalry between Iran and the U.S. is not a recent issue or related to Iran's nuclear case at the IAEA. However, Washington has revealed its opposition to Iran by its current measures in the agency," he added.
Mansouri said that the division between the two old allies, Europe and the U.S., on Iran's nuclear program indicates that this time the U.S. will have to implement its aggressive policies alone due to the positive policies that Iranian officials adopted in their latest diplomatic efforts.
He went on to say that the course of the discussions at the IAEA Board of Governors meeting in Vienna, the postponement of the final resolution, and the U.S. retreat from its initial position showed that the IAEA favored Iran.
Mansouri added that the common policy of Europe and Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) countries against the U.S. could create a positive and useful process in the international arena for countering U.S. unilateralism.
NAM also proved that it has an independent stance through the policies that it adopted toward the U.S.," he said.
Mansouri stressed that the U.S. and the Zionists can try to create an international consensus to censure Iran despite the fact that this time they are alone and without support in their efforts.
Elsewhere in his remarks, he lauded the Tehran session and its influence on the policies of European countries toward Iran and praised Iran's recent diplomatic efforts.
"The meeting held with three European foreign ministers in Iran and the trip made by Hasan Rowhani, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), to Russia and Brussels in order to meet European officials played a significant role in determining Europe's stance toward the U.S.," he said.
Mansouri concluded by saying that now that it has used the nuclear issue and the human rights issue, the U.S. is looking for another pretext to pressure Iran.
