Tehran  - Irans parliament called Sunday for a revision of diplomatic ties with the European Union trio Britain, France and Germany for their having doubted the presidential election results and siding with the opposition, state television network IRIB reported.

Speaker Ali Larijani termed the stance and relevant statements by the three EU states as "a shame" and called on the parliament's foreign policy commission to put the revision of ties on its agenda.

Also, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blamed the Western countries' stance on the presidential election and mentioned British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and US President Barack Obama by name.

"Definitely such an approach (doubting election legitimacy) would not put them into the friendship circle of the Iran nation and they should seriously revise their stance," Ahmadinejad said.

His mention of Obama follows on the US president's remarks Saturday urging the Tehran government to halt violent repression of protests and saying that the US supported demonstrators who were exercising their universal rights to free expression.

Also Foreign Minister Manoucher Mottaki, in a meeting with diplomats, said France was a great nation, but now being governed by "midgets," while also saying that the policies of Germany, Britain and the US in the region were wrong.

"Here in this room are sitting many representatives of states which once delivered poison gas (to Iraq), the effects of which Iranians have been suffering from for 20 years," Mottaki was reported to have said. He was apparently referring to the period of the 1980- 1988 Iran-Iraq conflict. (dpa)
