Iran condemns new UN sanctions
Tehran vows to
forge ahead with
nuclear program
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran
vowed to push ahead with uranium
enrichment yesterday, a day after
the U.N. Security Council passed a
third round of sanctions that Teh-
ran called "worthless" and politi-
cally biased.
The council approved the mea-
sures in a14-0vote, but unity among
the major powers faltered yesterday
when Russia and China blocked
an attempt by Western nations to
introduce a resolution on Iran's
nuclear defiance at a meeting of the
U.N. nuclear watchdog agency.
The dispute reflected the often
contentious relations between the
West and Russia and China about
how to deal with Iran's refusal to
suspend enrichment and meet other
Security Council demands aimed at
ensuring its nuclear program isn't
trying to produce atomic weapons.
The sanctions approved Monday
ordered a freeze on assets of addi-
tional Iranian officials and com-
panies with links to the country's
nuclear and missile programs and
banned for the first time trade with
Iran in some goods that have both
civilian and military uses.
"This resolution is contrary to*
the spirit and articles of the Inter-
national Atomic Energy Agency...
It is worthless and unacceptable,"
Foreign Ministry spokesman
Mohammad Ali Hosseini was quot-
ed as saying by Iran's official news
agency.
