"Iran 'willing to act illegally'"
Khamenei sounded a defiant tone as the UN prepared to meet
Iran's supreme leader has warned his country could pursue nuclear activities outside international law if illegal action is taken against it.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's comments came as the UN Security Council prepared to discuss further sanctions against Iran to try to halt its nuclear programme.
Tehran has already rejected as illegitimate an earlier UN resolution imposing sanctions against it.
It denies Western claims that it is seeking to produce nuclear weapons.
It says its nuclear programme is purely for peaceful purposes.
A draft resolution containing additional sanctions was agreed last week by ambassadors of the council's five permanent members.
New measures
In a nationally televised speech, Ayatollah Khamenei said Iran was determined to pursue its nuclear programme, regardless of international action.
"Until today, what we have done is in accordance with international regulations," he was quoted by the Associated Press news agency as saying.
"But if they take illegal actions, we too can take illegal actions and will do so."
Ayatollah Khamenei did not elaborate on what he meant."

"5 'well-educated' kids put in state custody"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Five "well-educated" children have been ordered into state custody by a court that applied to a second family a ruling taking a 15-year-old homeschooler from her family and sending her to a psychiatric ward.
The action fulfills a dire forecast from a human rights group that the government's success in the first case would encourage officials to act against other families in Germany.
The newest ruling comes from a court in Saxony and affects five members of the Brause family, according to officials with the International Human Rights Group.
Its president, Joel Thornton, earlier had told WND that, "There is an increased fear among homeschoolers about whether their children are next," after Melissa Busekros, 15, was removed from her home and ordered first to a psychiatric ward, then a foster home, because of her "school phobia."
Thornton told WND the ruling in Saxony means that while the government officials have not yet taken the five children from the family home, they have permission to do so at any time.
"Apparently, Germany has decided that it can determine when and where the children go to school; and where they live while doing so," noted Thornton. "The youth welfare, supported by the police force, can take the children out of the home at any time with or without notice."
The decision, according to the IHRG, said the well-being of the children "can only be achieved by their attendance in the public schools."
According to a CBN report, the legal custody of Rosine, Jotham, Kurt-Simon, Lovis and Ernst Brause was taken away from parents Bert and Kathrin and given to the local youth welfare office.
The parents reportedly can regain custody of their children only by placing them in public school."
