UN resolutions will not affect Iran: Ahmadinejad
2007-01-22
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Sunday that UN Security Council resolutions against Tehran would not affect IranÂ’s nuclear policies even if 10 more of them were passed. The UN Security Council passed a sanctions resolution on Dec 23 against Iran, calling for the suspension of IranÂ’s nuclear programme, which the West fears is aimed at making nuclear weapons. Iran denies the charge.

“The (UN) resolution was born dead and even if they issue 10 more of such resolutions it will not affect Iran’s economy and policies,” Ahmadinejad said in a speech to parliament broadcast live on state television. “They want to say, through a psychological war, that the resolution has been very effective ... Falsely, they want to say that Iran has paid a price,” the president said. “We have become a nuclear country today without promising anything to the major powers and this is a great victory that belongs to the people and the parliament,” he added.

#3  except there IS pressure on him, and it DOES seem to be caused by skyrocketing prices for food stuffs, as the Teheran markets get nervous about sanctions. Imanutjob is in denial.

#2  There is no reason to go to the UN any more on issues like these. Look at Sammy. 10 years of sanctions with the UN and what did we get? Oil for Palaces Program. US went back to UN for Iraq again. What did we get? Jacques Chiraq's undbending opposition to anything. Three times, shame on us.

#1  For once, I agree with the twit. But then, UN resolutions don't affect anyone, so who gives a sh*t?
