On Saturday, the Security Council voted unanimously to impose sanctions on Iran for refusing to suspend uranium enrichment, increasing international pressure on the government to prove that it is not trying to make nuclear weapons. Iran immediately rejected the resolution. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini said in response to the resolution that Iran was more determined to continue its nuclear activities. "Our response to the resolution is continuation of peaceful nuclear activities in a more concrete, more decisive and more organized manner than before," Hosseini told reporters. | |
