Mottaki: Recent resolution, a political goof off for US
Tehran, June 22, IRNA – Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said here Monday that the issuance of the recent UNSC resolution was a political goof off for the US.
Mottaki made the statement in the Special News Talk of the IRIB Channel 2’s 8:30 pm news edition.
Referring to West’s big defeat in issuance of the resolution Mottaki emphasized that “the west, led by the US, has been trying to prove a baseless claim for many years, having been unable to prove even a part of it, in order to block the path for the continuation of Iran’s peaceful nuclear program.”
He added, “In case of the previous resolutions there was only one negative vote, which was Qatar’s, while in case of the recent one this number increased to three.”
Mottaki said, “In the history of the Security Council’s vote taking procedures you cannot trace such instances; it shows that the consensus they were talking about has not been achieved.”
Mottaki added, “I am agreed with the Brazilian President Lola on the point that this victory is worse than any defeat.”
Emphasizing that the Americans did not achieve anything out of this resolution, he said, “The issuance of this resolution was in fact a big political goof off for the United States, because their entire efforts are aimed at introducing themselves as a superpower.”
Elsewhere in his talks, Mottaki further emphasized that no one called this resolution a victory, reiterating: “At a meeting with some 100 media friends they were all agreed that the Americans in fact check mated themselves with this move.”
Mottaki all the same pointed out, “Of course we do not welcome the passing of these resolutions and do not wholeheartedly embrace the sanctions, but we know that at economic scene of the day sanctions are meaningless.”
He added, “Just on the day that the sanctions were passed we signed billions of dollars of contracts in various fields, and therefore, we have thought about the things we have to do at the economic field.”/end
