Actualité - Iran Rejects Sanctions

Teheran, Oct 31 (Prensa Latina) - Gholamhosein Elham, spokesperson of the Iranian government, warned that the sanctions imposed by the West due to the national nuclear program would cause damage for both parties.

In a press round held Tuesday in Teheran, the official called the attention some countries to "be careful not to fall in the trapr" set by nations like the United States.

He highlighted that while the Islamic Republic fulfilled the regulations established by the Non-Proliferation Treaty and encouraged dialogue, those nations made a mistake and submitted the nuclear file to the UN Security Council.

We hope they do not make another mistake, Elham stated.

The Iranian spokesperson asserted that those mistakes fed the nuclear disagreement to which Teheran responded with a transparent position within the bounds of international law.

He ratified that Iranian authorities are simply defending their right to continue a peaceful atomic program.

The US and some western nations have accused Iran of enriching uranium for the fabrication of mass extermination weapons.

China and Russia, of the five permanent members of the Security Council, maintain a conciliatory position, while the rest plus Germany seek punitive measures.
