World In a defiant statement read out by a hardline cleric at Friday prayers, Iran's Supreme National Security Council said the sanctions broke the U.N. charter and should be revoked. "The entrance of the United Nations Security Council in the Islamic Republic of Iran's peaceful nuclear activities is illegal and invalid," said the statement, issued by the body which coordinates Iran's defense and security policy. "(The U.N. Security) Council should swiftly take corrective action and correct its past mistakes," it said. The U.N. Security Council voted earlier this month for a fourth round of sanctions aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear program which the West fears could lead to nuclear weapons. Iran, which denies it is seeking the bomb, has dismissed the measures as ineffective, but further, tougher U.S. and European sanctions could have greater impact, analysts say. In its latest salvo against Washington, Iran said the United States was the main culprit of "using, producing and spreading nuclear weapons" and taunted it over its failure to stem the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. "How can a regime which is not able to stop an oil well (spill) gain the world's trust for curbing its nuclear arsenal which is the biggest threat for the world?" it said. SHAME The U.N. sanctions target Iranian banks suspected of connections with nuclear or missile programs. They also expand an arms embargo and call for a cargo inspection regime. Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, leading Friday prayers broadcast on national radio, said a bill before parliament would enable Iran to respond in kind to any attempts to search its ships. "They want to stop and inspect our ships and planes, which is a real shame," he said. "Well done to parliament. The lawmakers said we would retaliate and do the same thing to your ships in the Persian Gulf and the Oman Sea." The statement also said Iran would retaliate to measures it considers unwarranted. "The Islamic Republic of Iran explicitly announces that any action against legal and legitimate interests of Iranian nation will in return receive a legal response and appropriate action of Iran." Sanctions agreed by European Union leaders on Thursday -- some of which are aimed at "key sectors of the gas and oil industry" -- could have greater impact on the OPEC member's economy that the U.N. measures. The U.S. Treasury imposed new sanctions on Wednesday and Congress is drawing up its own set of measures against Iran. (Writing by Robin Pomeroy; Editing by Matthew Jones) World Comments See All Comments (6) | Post Comment Jun 18, 2010 7:17am EDT These sanctions are also very immoral.But these money-grubbing,unscrupulous leaders in Europe just don’t care.All they do is pander to London and Washington and follow their dictates without a sliver of decency or humanity.Then again,the politics of hunger is always wrong but is another tool of the West to enforce their will upon weaker countries. majorityofone Report As Abusive Jun 18, 2010 7:39am EDT Those that think Iran is somehow being wronged always forget that a council of mullahs following 7th Century beliefs runs this country. These bearded boobies interpret everything through this narrow prism. This is why even China and Russia must act with the West in the UN Security Council to prevent weapons of mass destruction from falling into their hands. apollo1981 Report As Abusive Jun 18, 2010 8:30am EDT The religious zealots of Iran sound exactly like the psychopathic zealots of North Korea – lots of emotion and no substance. No wonder the two nations seem to enjoy each other’s company. finneganG Report As Abusive Jun 18, 2010 9:09am EDT finneganG, they do because NK was among the only countries helping them during the Iran-Iraq war. But the two countries can’t be compared. Iranians travel the world and study in the West and Korea even before the splitting of the peninsula was cut off or isolated from the West. Iran was never caught up in the fight of the two worlds (economies) like NK. Although also stroked by cold war politics. The supporters of the regime are more worldly then Mousavi many times over. They should have rigged the elections so he could have won big and the world would have seen him turn into a despot quickly in the eyes of its media. Remember he was a god damn candidate of choice by the Guardian Council and the situation would look exactly the same in regards to the nuclear program. People screaming death to the dictator (Khamenei) should have nothing to do with Mousavi or any of his other supporters. Petter Report As Abusive Jun 18, 2010 10:06am EDT Anger and fear do not help… in fact, to find an answer acceptable to all, it would not be found hidden beneath hate. Look to and hope for wisdom to guide these leaders, and not misplaced passion or politics. myThoughts2 Report As Abusive Jun 18, 2010 10:53am EDT just maybe when you stand before the world and say your going to wipe a Nation off the face of the earth, people take you serious. that guy needs to learn to shut up!! the people of iran don’t want war…he does! wolf91101 Report As Abusive See All Comments (6) Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
