The UN Security Council has approved a resolution imposing sanctions on Iran over its nuclear enrichment program.
Alejandro Wolff, acting US Representative to the UN:
“Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons capability constitutes a grave threat and demands a clear statement from this Council. Today we are placing Iran in the small category of states under Security Council sanctions and sending Iran an unambiguous message that there are serious repercussions to its continued disregard and defiance of this body.”
Iran immediately rejected the UN measure. Javard Zarif, Iran’s Representative to the UN, said the US and its allies haven’t read Iranian proposals for a negotiated solution.
Javard Zarif , Acting Iran Representative to the UN:
“It is now an open secret that their sole objective from the negotiations has always been to impose and then prolong and then perpetuate the suspension of Iran’s rights in line with their arbitrary and fluctuating red lines. Finding solutions has never been even among the objectives.”
