All voluntary measures taken over the past two-and-a-half or three years have been halted and we have no further commitment to the additional protocol and other voluntary commitments.

We do not accept global nuclear 'apartheid' and scientific 'apartheid'.

Referring the case to the Security Council would be a lose-lose game, and we would prefer that this game does not happen. We see a win-win situation, that is where the EU and international community have confidence and the Islamic Republic of Iran reaches its legitimate right.

Russia's plan is at a stage of serious consideration, and negotiations on it are ongoing. Agreement between Tehran and Moscow has already been reached on certain points of Russia's proposals, in particular on increasing the number of participants in the project.

This resolution has no legal basis. All it does is simply remove the opportunity for voluntary cooperation between Iran and the agency.

It is a political declaration and it is unjust.

If nuclear technology is useful for the United States, isn't it useful for other countries? We do not accept global nuclear and scientific 'apartheid'.

The Islamic Republic pays great cost to control and prevent transfer of narcotics to West.

As for a widening of the negotiations, we have a positive view but this should take place in agreement with other parties.
