ImageNCRI, October 1 – In an interview with the English-language daily Khaleej Times, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, mullahs’ new president, resorted to hollow threats once again in fear of being referred to the UN Security Council for sanctions.

The daily quoted him as saying: "If Iran’s case is sent to the Security Council, we will respond in many ways, for example by holding back on oil sales or limiting inspections of our nuclear facilities.

The threat is made by a regime whose economy totally depends on oil revenues. Ahmadinejad also conceals the fact that IAEA inspectors are already restricted in their operations in Iran and have not been allowed to many secret sites. The Iranian non-compliance with IAEA guidelines was the main reason for adoption of the resolution by the IAEA board of governors on September 24.

Commenting on the adoption of the resolution, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the Iranian Resistance’s President-elect, said it underscored the mullahs’ repeated concealment and persistent breach of the NPT, and emphasized that the United Nations Security Council was the competent body to address these violations.

Mrs. Rajavi recalled, "In all these years, the Iranian Resistance insisted that Tehran’s nuclear file must be referred to the Security Council. Now that the IAEA resolution has been adopted, giving any further opportunity to the regime in the hope that it would change its nuclear policy will be tantamount to providing more time to the enemy of humanity. This would run counter to international peace and security and the Iranian nation’s highest interests."

"On behalf of the Iranian people and Resistance, therefore, I stress the need for the immediate and definitive referral of the Iranian regime’s nuclear file to the Security Council," she added.
