Iran: IAEA decision will strengthen our resolve

A UN atomic agency board resolution on Iran's nuclear program will only strengthen Tehran's determination to press on with its disputed activities, a senior Iranian official said on Friday.

Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Iran's Ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said the Islamic state would not halt uranium enrichment even for "a second", making clear his country would not back down in the dispute with major powers. (Reuters)
