UN Security Council changes cause of worry for Iranian regime

NCRI – The Iranian regime has expressed fear over the new arrangement within the ‎United Nations Security Council, saying that Turkey’s replacement by Portugal as a non-‎permanent member counts as an important development for the regime with regards to its ‎nuclear weapons dossier.‎

“While at the UN Security Council, Turkey sought to tone down the unilateral anti-‎Iranian atmosphere, declaring its opposition to resolution 1929,” the Iran Diplomacy ‎website said.‎

‎“The replacement of Turkey with Portugal, which is an EU member and cannot defend ‎the Iranian position as strongly as Turkey did, should be considered as a significant ‎development for Iran.”‎
