TEHRAN, Nov. 25 (Xinhuanet) -- Iran on Friday hailed as rational and farsighted the decision of the UN nuclear watchdog to put off referral of Iran's case to the UN Security Council.
"Wisdom, farsightedness, precaution and avoidance of adventurism seemed to prevail over the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Thursday meeting," Expediency Council Chairman and former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani was quoted by the official IRNA news agency as saying.
The 35-nation IAEA board of governors decided in Vienna on Thursday to hold off the threatened referral of Iran's nuclear issue to the UN Security Council in order to give Iran more time to consider a compromise proposal to break the deadlock over its controversial nuclear program.
