Despite new UN resolution, Iran to continue uranium enrichment
By The Associated Press
Tags: UN, Israel News, Nuclear 

Iran on Monday said it will continue its disputed uranium enrichment activity despite a new United Nations resolution seeking suspension of the process.

Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Hasan Qashqavi said in his weekly briefing Monday that uranium enrichment is Iran's right and that it intends to continue to do so.

He described demands for the suspension of Iran's uranium enrichment as beyond the law.

The U.S. and Russia on Friday sponsored a new UN resolution reaffirming three previous ones that imposed sanctions on Iran for refusing to halt its uranium enrichment program.

Israel, the U.S. and several European nations accuse Tehran of covertly seeking to build nuclear weapons. Iran denies this, saying its nuclear program is for civilian purposes only.

On Thursday, the British newspaper The Guardian quoted European officials as saying that the United States earlier this year refused to agree to an Israeli strikeon Iranian nuclear facilities.
