Iran says UN sanctions and its "lack of legitimacy '

.- The representative of Iran at the International Atomic Energy (), Ali Asqhar Soltaniyé, said today that the Security Council "lacks legitimacy" and thus the Iranian regime considers "illegal sanctions" imposed on country. The statements came to light few hours after the agreement ended without a new round of nuclear talks between Iran and major powers, which took place between yesterday and today in Istanbul.

During that period, the so-called 5 +1 group, composed of members of the Security Council plus Germany-UN asked Iran to supply further uranium enrichment as a measure of confidence. "The Security Council UN suffers from a crisis of legitimacy and its resolutions against Iran can not be made effective by this lack of legitimacy," said Sultaniye a local news agency Fars.

The Iranian official noted that it has been so expressed to the Russian authorities during the recent trip made to Moscow to try to find a solution to the military suspected that lifts the country's nuclear program. In the Russian capital, said his country Sultaniye remains open to exchange part of its enriched uranium to 3.5 percent by atomic fuel, even within the terms agreed in May with Brazil and Turkey, and have not been accepted by the other powers.

The Security Council of the United Nations decided last June to impose new sanctions on Iran after the Iranian regime desoyera warnings and decided to launch its controversial uranium enrichment program. Although the sanctions seem to work and were taken with the consent of all members in recent days Russia has hinted it would open up some of these punitive measures.
