Britain and US 'enemies of Iranian nation'
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad today called the UN Security Council and its decisions “illegitimate”.
“What sort of Security Council is this? The whole world knows that the US and Britain are enemies of the Iranian nation,” Ahmadinejad told a crowd of thousands gathered at a pro-Palestinian rally in the capital Tehran.
The United States and Britain – along with France, Russia and China – have power to veto any Security Council measures.
“You want to be the judge, the complainant and the enforcer. But the time for such logic has passed. No one accepts this from you,” Ahmadinejad said, addressing the US and Britain.
Iran has been locked in a stand-off with the West over its nuclear programme.
A draft UN resolution on Iran is expected to be introduced in the Security Council early next week, and diplomats have said they would seek sanctions on Tehran for refusing to suspend uranium enrichment.
