[edit] Reaction of Iran

Iran immediately dismissed the sanctions and said it had no intention of suspending its enrichment program. Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki told the Security Council after the vote: "The world must know – and it does – that even the harshest political and economic sanctions or other threats are far too weak to coerce the Iranian nation to retreat from their legal and legitimate demands." He added: "Suspension is neither an option nor a solution."^[1]
