Larijani made the remarks on Wednesday after the UN Security Council voted in favor of imposing fresh sanctions against Tehran over its nuclear program, the report said.
By pushing towards sanctions, "the U.S. game against Iran was being spearheaded by the Zionist (Israel) lobby," he said according to Press TV.
On Thursday, Chinese Special Envoy to the Middle East Wu Sike said that China is keen to find a peaceful solution to the Iranian nuclear issue through diplomatic ways.
"China objects to Iran developing nuclear weapons, but it supports, however, its right in the peaceful use of nuclear energy, " he said at a press conference held in the Chinese embassy in Damascus.
"UN resolution does not close the door to diplomatic solution," he added.
Meanwhile, Russia said Thursday it would freeze the sale of S-300 air defense systems to Iran in line with new UN sanctions against Iran adopted a day earlier.
"The UN Security Council's resolutions are mandatory to all countries. Russia is no exception here. Naturally, the (previously signed) contract for the delivery of S-300 missile systems to Tehran will be frozen," the Interfax news agency quoted a source as saying.
