Vienna, Apr. 29 - The world’s nuclear watchdog said in a reportcirculated on Friday that Iran has not only ignored the UN Security Council call to suspend its nuclear fuel enrichment but also has accelerated its own program ignoring the world’s call.

There is no other alternative left with the Security Council but to impose sanctions on Iran. Tehran has said that its enrichment policy could not change. Iran has rather vowed to withstand any consequences, financial or otherwise.

As per Reuters, hours before details of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report emerged, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran would pay no heed to any UN measure designed to rein in its nuclear program.

"Those who want to prevent Iranians from obtaining their right, should know that we do not give a damn about such resolutions," he told a rally in northwest Iran.

The IAEA report confirmed that Iran had flouted the Security Council's demands. "Iran was supposed to suspend, but since they continue to do experiments, they have not suspended enrichment efforts.

The IAEA official has further said that Iran had done little during a 30-day grace period to answer questions, which were meant to determine whether its nuclear program is purely civilian?

The report said IAEA tests confirmed Iran’s claim this month to have enriched uranium with a cascade of 164 centrifuges to the low level needed to fuel nuclear power plants. It must be purified to a much higher level for bomb making.

President George W. Bush said he wanted peaceful persuasion to prevail. "It’s very important for the Iranians to understand there is a common desire by a lot of nations in this world to convince them, peacefully convince them, that they ought to give up their weapons ambitions," Bush said.

India’s general view is that Iran should have respected the UN, which is the proper way and the right procedure to live peacefully in the world.
