TEHRAN (AFP) — Iran vowed on Saturday to retaliate if the UN Security Council imposes new sanctions after the latest UN atomic agency report on its nuclear activities spoke of progress.
And ahead of a meeting of major powers on Monday to discuss a new draft package of sanctions, Iranian leaders insisted that more UN resolutions would be pointless and without legal basis.
"They could spend 100 years passing resolutions but it wouldn't change anything," Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in an interview with state television.
"We have prepared plans if they continue. Any country that leads the way, European or non-European, must know that we will take firm reprisals," Ahmadinejad said.
He insisted it was "in the interest" of the world's major powers to change their attitude towards Iran, adding that Iran was "not joking."

Send in some black ops guys and take Imanutjob, the mullahs, the nuke facilities and be done with it. And don’t tell me it can’t be done.
whoops! insert “out” between facilities & and
If we use our stand off capabilities instead we can inflict maximum pain with minimal risk.
As for paying to rebuild it all...
It worked for Europe and Japan...
