Sanctions will not force Iran to curtail the nuclear program. With such application the president of Islamic Republic has acted today. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in particular, has told that neither threats, nor the psychological war declared by enemies of Iran, will force Teheran to descend from “the way of progress”.
According to the Iranian leader, his country is at last stage of finding of nuclear technologies. Thus M.Ahmadinezhad has not specified, what exactly he meant.
M.Ahmadinejad’s application has sounded two days later after the representatives of Russia, the USA, the Great Britain, France, China and Germany (the so-called “six”) have met in Berlin to discuss unwillingness of Teheran to submit to requirements of the United Nations. Under the messages of diplomatic sources, the USA insist on the further toughening of sanctions of the world community concerning Iran for its refusal to suspend work on enrichment of uranium.
Let’s remind, that on December, 23rd, 2006, UN Security Council has accepted the resolution across Iran. According to the document, Teheran should stop enrichment of uranium both in peace, and in the military purposes. Other requirement of the UN Security Council became the termination of development of the projects focused on manufacture of nuclear warheads.
