Iran Nuclear Watch: Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad REJECTS United Nations Security Council Resolution

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, pictured, has vowed that Iran would not bow to “the language of force and threats”, a day after the UN Security Council ordered it to freeze sensitive nuclear work by the end of the month.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday rejected a U.N. Security Council resolution that would give his nation until Aug. 31 to suspend uranium enrichment. Instead, Ahmadinejad insisted Tehran would pursue its nuclear program.

“My words are the words of the Iranian nation. Throughout Iran, there is one slogan: ‘The Iranian nation considers the peaceful use of nuclear fuel production technology its right,'” Ahmadinejad said.

This is consistent with what Ahmadinejad and the Mullahs have maintained all along. So, has the EU and P-5-Plus-1 negotiations with Iran be fruitful.

NO WAY – A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME

Iran reacted angrily to a UN Security Council resolution ordering it to freeze sensitive nuclear work by the end of the month, one top official branding the text as “worthless”

The Security Council passed a resolution Monday calling for Iran to suspend uranium enrichment by the end of August or face the threat of economic and diplomatic sanctions.

Ahmadinejad said Iran will not give in to threats from the United Nations.

“If some think they can still speak with threatening language to the Iranian nation, they must know that they are badly mistaken,” he said in a speech broadcast live on state-run television.

The United Nations Security council will NOW wait until August 22 when Iran has promised to respond to the P-5-Plus-1 proposal (discounting Iranian bloviations that it was already rejected). One week later the UNSC deadline looms. Then, the debate on UNSC sanctions.

Flap handicaps NO substantial UNSC on Iran – EVER. Russia and China will veto any harsh measures and the EU is too afraid of an Arab oil embargo.

The decision will be left to the United States and Israel: Impose non-UNSC sanctions on those nations trading with Iran, military action or simply live with an eventual nuclear Iran and deter them like other nuclear powers.

Stay tuned……
