Iran said there was not enough evidence that its nuclear programme was designed to produce anything other than energy for it to be sent to the UN Security Council for possible sanctions. Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said on Sunday any referral to New York, at a meeting of the UN nuclear watchdog in Vienna on Thursday, would be a political manoeuvre against the Islamic Republic. "There is no legal or logical reason for Iran's case to be referred. But if something does happen in the next few days based on political motives that is a different matter," he told reporters. |
