Iran's Parliament (Majlis) on Sunday urged the government to develop plans to reduce cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the official IRNA news agency reported.

In a statement issued on Sunday, the lawmakers asked the government to work out a plan to lower the level of future cooperation with the IAEA as a reaction to the hostile attitudes recently adopted by the five permanent members of United Nations' Security Council plus Germany (G5+1) against Iran, the report said.

The statement signed by 226 Parliament members described the resolution adopted by the IAEA as a "politically-motivated move short of a consensus."

The statement stressed that the political will of certain big powers specially the United States and Britain was the driving force behind the moves resulting in deviation of Iran's nuclear dossier from its normal path, according to IRNA.

Iran's Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani warned on Sunday that Iran will make "serious revisions" in its policies towards cooperation with the IAEA if world powers continue the policy of " carrot and stick."

The resolution passed by the IAEA Board of Governors during a meeting Friday in Vienna called for the "full cooperation" of Iran to clarify all outstanding issues involving its nuclear program.

It was reported that the resolution contained a strong call on Tehran to implement the relevant UN Security Council resolutions, as well as all the transparency measures the IAEA needed to restore confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program.

It also required Iran to stop construction on the newly- disclosed Fordo uranium enrichment facility near the central Iranian city of Qom.
