Iran cleric accuses UN of tyranny on atomic work

As reported here, Iranian cleric Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani says that "the UN Security Council risks committing “a historic act of tyranny” against Iran if it passes a resolution demanding Tehran stop making nuclear fuel.".

"UN Security Council permanent members are wrangling over the text of a draft resolution that includes the threat of sanctions if Iran fails to halt making enriched uranium, which the West argues will be used in atomic warheads."

"“On our nuclear issue, we are now witnessing a cruel act,” Rafsanjani told Friday prayers worshippers in Tehran." adding, "“They are going to commit another historic act of tyranny against Iran, despite Iran announcing several times that it is ready to negotiate,”", but not until next month. Meanwhile, their enrichment program continues unabated, which will soon allow Iran to commit an historic act of tyranny when they use a nuclear weapon on, say, Israel or the United States.

"“If Iran accepts, that would mean putting our hands up and surrendering,” he continued.".

That's the whole idea.
