On Tuesday, while failing to contain his anger at UN Security Council resolution 1701 and the exposure of the regime’s role in the crisis in Lebanon, the regime’s president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad threatened further warmongering and terrorism. “I hereby announce, do not think that with the cease-fire the issue is now resolved. … They should not think that they managed to attack and leave and that no-one will now pursue them,” he said.
In the same speech, Ahmadinejad reiterated that the regime would continue uranium enrichment. Referring to resolution 1969, he told members of the Security Council, “They must know that the Iranian nation will not back down an iota from its right,” adding, “We will not bend to the language of force. We are seeking a Middle East free from the presence of the United States and Israel. … The Security Council is a tool in your (U.S.) hands. It no longer has any honor or legal authority to make decisions. … They issue resolutions … but they know they cannot do a thing.”
Ahmadinejad’s remarks are an indication of the decision by the mullahs’ regime to evade the requirements of the Security Council resolutions over Lebanon and its nuclear projects, and that the regime is banking on a delay by and shortcomings of the international community in adopting a decisive and urgent policy to prevent it from obtaining a nuclear bomb.
The Iranian Resistance reiterates once again the urgent need to impose comprehensive diplomatic, arms, technologic and oil sanctions against the Iranian regime the most dangerous regime in order to prevent it from obtaining an atomic bomb.
