foreign ministry Friday dismissed as "theatrical and useless" a
United Nations atomic watchdog resolution that censured
Iran
over
its nuclear program, state news agency IRNA reported.
Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast "branded the issuing of the
resolution as...a theatrical move aimed as pressuring
Iran
and
described such behavior as useless," IRNA said.
"We do not deem it necessary to fully carry out [our] commitments to the
agency if
Iran
's
basic rights as a member of the [nuclear] Non-Proliferation Treaty are not
met," he said, without elaborating.
"This resolution is a test for independent and non-aligned countries on
how to pursue their rights more carefully."
Earlier Friday, the International Atomic Energy Agency censured
Iran
and
demanded it immediately halt construction of a newly revealed uranium
enrichment plant.
Iran
insists it has a right to enrich uranium to make nuclear fuel as a signatory of
the treaty and denies allegations that its atomic program has military aims.
