Anti-Iran resolutions, unfair: Cuban ambassador

Tehran, July 17, IRNA – Cuban Ambassador to Tehran William Carbo Ricardo stressed that the latest Security Council’s anti-Iran resolution was unfair.

Talking to IRNA, he reiterated that the resolution was issued a few days after a trilateral agreement was inked between Iran, Turkey and Brazil.

Denouncing the US approach towards the Islamic Republic, he said Washington even did not let Iran materialize the Tehran Declaration and prepared the ground for issuance of an anti-Iran resolution.

Therefore, Iran had no chance for negotiations on fuel swap or finding a solution to its nuclear issue, the Cuban envoy added.

Known as the Tehran Declaration, the agreement was signed on May 17 by senior officials of Iran, Brazil and Turkey on the sidelines of the G15 summit meeting in Tehran.

Based on the agreement, Tehran accepted to send 1,200 kilograms of its low-enriched uranium to Turkey in exchange for a total of 120 kilograms of highly-enriched uranium which will be used as nuclear fuel for the country’s medical research reactor.

Ricardo further voiced his country’s support for pursuance of peaceful nuclear energy by the Islamic Republic.

Havana has so far condemned all sanctions against Iran’s peaceful nuclear program, he announced./end
