Ahmadinejad suspends nuclear co-operation
 Iran has responded to the latest round of UN sanctions by announcing a partial suspension of co-operation with the International Atomic Energy Agency. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran would not stop its nuclear programme despite the sanctions and would "adjust" its ties with those behind the measure.A government spokesman said on state television that Iran had "decided to suspend code 1-3 of minor arrangements of the safeguards" with the UN's nuclear watchdog. "This will continue until Iran's nuclear case is referred back to the IAEA from the UN Security Council." The Security Council unanimously approved sanctions against Iran on Saturday. But Mr Ahmadinejad said: "Iran will not stop its peaceful and legal nuclear trend even for one second because of such an illegal resolution." Posted by: Fred 2007-03-26 |
