Ahmadinejad: Iran not obliged to abide by any UNSC resolution
Iran-UN, Politics, 4/25/2006

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad yesterday said at a press conference that Iran is not obliged to abide by any UN Security Council resolution.

Ahmadinejad yesterday said about US military threats that they will be meaningless since Iran will strongly defend itself and the enemy will not venture to take such an action. "They know that such an action is dangerous for themselves. They even do not dare to talk about military action, because they know how detrimental such a practice will be. If they make such a mistake, the situation will further worsen for them.

"Any military action on Iran will draw their economic and social situation to a disaster. They only can embark on threats over media networks in order to exert pressure on Iran. Such a threat is futile for Iran."

Today Ahmadinejad said "We have announced repeatedly that Iran is not after crisis generation and we do not want to cause worries for anyone either, but we expect the UN to act based on regulations."

He stressed, "The UNSC has issued many resolutions against Israel so far, none of which has ever been heeded." Ahmadinejad added "We make our decisions based on international rules and regulations and in the framework of our national interests; we favor holding negotiations, are not after oppressing any other nation, and would not yield to being oppressed by others."
