Quote:Iran: Un Action 'Unlikely'

Tehran - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday said it was "unlikely" the UN security council would act against Iran over its nuclear programme.

"We have said everything in our response.

"I think the time to use the instrument of the security council has expired," he told reporters, referring to an Iranian answer to a Western package of incentives over its nuclear programme.

"I see it as unlikely that they want to use it (the security council). Using nuclear energy is Iran's right and we want to use it according to international law."

The security council has given Iran an August 31 deadline to suspend all uranium enrichment and reprocessing activities.

Iran has insisted it has no intention of abandoning such work.

"I think that the opportunity that Iran has given Europeans is extremely exceptional for fairly resolving all issues.

"Of course, that is if they are interested in justice and I hope they will be," said Ahmadinejad.

Well, the debate continues. Iran is dead set on producing nuclear power, half the world is dead set against it.

Personally, as you may or may not know, I think that as long as Irans intentions are peacefull, they have every right to nuclear power.

The nuclear non-proliferation treaty, to which Iran, (unlike Israel, India or Pakistan) is a signatory specifically allows the development of nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
