Responding to another toothless UN resolution calling for the mullahs to stop enriching uranium for use in atomic weapons, Iran tells the UN to quit bothering them or they’ll call off the UN’s blindfolded inspections: Iran Rejects UN Call for Uranium Enrichment Freeze.

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran rejected Sunday a U.N. resolution calling on it to freeze uranium enrichment activities and threatened to stop snap checks of its atomic facilities if its case were sent to the U.N. Security Council.

It said that if the Security Council went as far as punishing Tehran with sanctions, Iran might follow North Korea and pull out of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty altogether.

The U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the U.N. nuclear watchdog, unanimously adopted a resolution Saturday calling on Iran to suspend all uranium enrichment-related activities.

“Iran will not accept any obligation regarding the suspension of uranium enrichment,” chief nuclear negotiator Hassan Rohani told a news conference Sunday. “No international body can force Iran to do so.”

His words chimed with the view of the Iranian parliament, which urged the government to ignore the resolution.
