IRAN plans to complain to the United Nations about US "terror operations" alleged to include the assassination of its nuclear scientists, according to its top nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili.
At an anti-US rally, Jalili said yesterday the Swiss ambassador to Iran was due to be summoned to the Foreign Ministry to be handed "documents of US terror plots against Iran."
Copies of the documents would be presented by Iran's UN envoy to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in New York later, he said.
"The US is employing terrorism to promote its objectives 鈥 we will sue the US," he told the rally in Tehran. "The UN needs to take the necessary measures to prosecute and punish the US government for directing terrorist activities (against Iran)."
Tens of thousands of people, most of them students transported to the site, rallied to mark the anniversary of the seizure of the US Embassy by militant students in 1979. The takeover of the embassy lasted more than a year.
They responded to Jalil's words by chanting: "Death to the US."
"The question remains of why people on the US sanctions list are assassinated in Iran," Jalili told the crowd, a reference to the killing of three Iranian nuclear scientists by gunmen in recent years. "What relationship exists between assassinations and US sanctions other than terrorists being directed by the US?"
The protesters held a poster of US President Barack Obama with captions reading, "Wanted, dead or alive" and "Obama terrorist."
The poster showed the pictures of the three murdered Iranian nuclear scientists. Iran claims the killings were directed, financed and supported by the US and Israel.
