Roundup: Iran warns UN over nuclear resolution
font size    

Iran warned on Sunday that if the United Nations approved a resolution asking for suspension of Iran 's sensitive nuclear activities, it would no longer consider an incentive package.

"The (six-nation) package will no longer on the agenda anymore if they pass a resolution against Iran," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told reporters.

"They want to menace Iran by putting pressure, but no country could get anything, this will just make the current situation even worse," he added.

Meanwhile, Asefi also warned Iran would revise its policy, referring to a possible halt of Iran's cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog.

"The Europeans should understand that we would revise our current policy and react accordingly," he said.

When asked how Iran would react on the possible resolution, Asefi said "they know what I am talking about".

On June 6, EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana presented Iran with a package agreed on by the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany concerning the Iranian nuclear issue.

The proposal includes both incentives aimed at persuading Iran to suspend uranium enrichment and possible sanctions if Iran does not comply.

On Friday, the Security Council drew up a draft resolution, demanding Iran stop enriching uranium activities before Aug. 31 or face international sanctions. The draft resolution is likely to be voted soon.

Iran's top officials have repeatedly said the country would formally respond to the six-nation package by Aug. 22, but resisting to suspend enrichment activities.

However, the officials have also warned the United Nations against taking acrimonious measures to force Iran to comply, or Iran would quit the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and stop cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
