Former Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama said Tuesday he has lodged a protest with the Iranian Embassy in Tokyo over an Iranian state-run television report that he criticized the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Hatoyama told the embassy Monday that the report on his remarks in his meeting with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Teheran on Sunday was "untrue" and urged it to check the background of the report with the Iranian government and provide an explanation, according to Hatoyama's office.
