Tehran:
Iran will not bow to pressure meant to discourage the country from
pursuing its nuclear rights, Iranian foreign ministry has said.
The ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast, referring to the latest
sanctions by the UN Security Council (UNSC) against the Islamic
Republic over its nuclear programme, said Iran does not "welcome
sanctions or resolutions", Press TV reported.
"The sanctions and resolutions are an illegal approach (to the
issue) as our nation is being tried for a crime it has not
committed," Mehmanparast said in an interview with the IRIB
Sunday.
The spokesperson pointed out that Tehran will continue to pursue
the "nation's basic rights and not renounce (them) in the face of
pressures".
The UNSC imposed a fourth round of sanctions as part of punitive
measures against the Islamic Republic June 9, targeting Iran's
energy sector.
The US, Israel, and some of their allies accuse Tehran of pursuing
military objectives in its nuclear program.
