| Iran says new UN Security Council resolution "unacceptable" |
| 2007-03-26 |
| A senior Iranian member of parliament said on Sunday that the new UN Security Council resolution with tougher sanctions against Tehran is "unacceptable, " local Mehr news agency reported. Alaeddin Boroujerdi, chief of Iran's parliamentary national security and foreign affairs, described the Resolution 1747 that urges Iran to suspend uranium enrichment work is "unacceptable and inapplicable," Mehr said. "Iran will keep on pursuing its path within the framework of the nuclear rules...(and) advise the 5+1 group to return to the negotiating table quickly and without preconditions," Boroujerdi was quoted as saying. He referred to the five permanent UN Security Council members, namely Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States, plus Germany. Boroujerdi also said that the Iranian parliament will consider its response to the new resolution after Iran's New Year holiday, which ends on April 3. Mohammad-Reza Bahonar, vice-speaker of the Iranian parliament, has also defended his country's right to develop nuclear technology, Iran's state television reported Sunday on its website. "Iran is a member of the Non-Proliferation Treaty and therefore it has the right to attain peaceful nuclear technology as other members have," Bahonar said Saturday night shortly after the UN Security Council unanimously adopted the resolution. "We can continue our negotiations over the case if it is returned to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)," he added. Resolution 1747, cosponsored by Britain, France and Germany and incorporating some of the amendments proposed by Indonesia, Qatar and South Africa, urges Iran to suspend uranium enrichment work " without further delay." |
