Britain warned today, Wednesday, that it would raise the issue of re -imposing United Nations sanctions on Iran if necessary to prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon at a time when the Security Council met to discuss Tehran’s expansion in its uranium stock, which is approaching the degree necessary to produce weapons.
Iran denied its desire to develop a nuclear weapon.
However, the International Atomic Energy Agency warned that Iran is “strongly” enriching uranium to a purity rate of 60 percent, which approaches the necessary level to produce weapons and of about 90 percent.
Western countries say that there is no need for such a high level of uranium enrichment in any civil program, and that no other country has never done this without the desire to produce nuclear bombs. Iran confirms that its nuclear program is peaceful.
“We are clear that we will take any diplomatic measures to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, and this includes the use of the mechanism of re -imposing sanctions, if necessary,” James Cariocy, the British Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations, told reporters before the meeting.
The closed meeting was held at the invitation of six fifteen member states in the council, the United States, France, Greece, Panama, South Korea and Britain.
The Iranian mission to the United Nations accused the United States of seeking the UN Security Council as a weapon “to escalate the economic war on Iran.” “This dangerous violation must be rejected to protect the credibility of the council,” she added in a post on the X platform.
The American mission to the United Nations said in a statement after the council meeting that Iran is “the only country in the world that does not have nuclear weapons and produces highly enriched uranium that has no peaceful purpose.”
Iran also accused the Security Council challenge and violated its obligations towards the International Atomic Energy Agency, and called on the council to “be clear and unified in addressing this shameful behavior and condemning it.”
