Iran to refuse UN nuke resolution

TEHRAN: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday that his country would not accept a UN Security Council resolution asking Tehran to suspend uranium enrichment work before August 31, the state television reported.

"They cannot use a resolution to oppose us, and they should understand that Iranian people do not give in to language of force," Ahmadinejad was quoted as telling a huge crowd in Iran's northwest province of Ardebil.

He said that he had received a phone call from UN Secretary General Kofi Annan who urged Iran to respond to the six-nation package.

"I told him Iran would be willing to solve the current problem through dialogue, but we have already lost our confidence in them because of the resolution," said Ahmadinejad.

He reiterated that Iran would respond on August 22 to the international package of incentives to suspend uranium enrichment that was offered by the five permanent members of the Security Council and Germany.

The UN Security Council on July 31 adopted a resolution by a vote of 14 to 1, urging Tehran to "suspend all enrichment-related and reprocessing activities, including research and development" by August 31 or face the prospect of sanctions.

The US has accused Iran of secretly developing nuclear weapons under a civilian front - a charge categorically denied by Tehran that maintains its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes.

Meanwhile, Ahmadinejad commented on ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah guerrillas, saying "Hezbollah has hoisted the banner of victory over Israel and destroyed US-led plans for the Middle East."

Neville Chamberlain had nothing on Goofy Anonymous and his crew.

Angry letter writing is a growth industry at the U.N. these days.

UN Security Council resolutions have less authority than a note from your mother.

Perhaps Mike Wallace can be the arbitrator and convince his handsome friend to disarm.

This calls for a sternly worded letter to the Times.
