Iran shows the United Nations Security Council the respect it deserves: Iran warns UN of ‘confrontation’ over nuclear programme.

“Any action by the Security Council will have a negative influence on our cooperation with the agency,” Asefi told reporters, repeating Iran’s threat to halt International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspections.

“The involvement of the Security Council will direct the path of cooperation towards confrontation,” he said, warning that the Security Council would not be able to enforce its demands.

“It’s obvious that the Security Council should not take any action that it is not capable of dealing with later, because we will not refrain from our rights,” Asefi said.

“A suspension and pause (of enrichment) is not on the agenda at all, and the Security Council should not do something that will get it into trouble later on.”
