Iran says draft sanctions resolution has no chance

Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki expressed surprise on Wednesday when asked about a draft sanctions resolution that has been agreed by world powers.There is no chance for a new resolution, Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki told reporters when asked about the draft resolution, which was agreed by all five permanent members of the Security Council. A couple of the members of the Security Council have come up with a new recipe in their kitchen, he said. It seems that this new dish they have prepared is not being given to the guests in a timely manner, and the guests have already had their lunch. Lets not take this seriously. The United States handed the draft resolution to the Security Council on Tuesday. Mottaki said a uranium swap deal brokered by Brazil and Turkey will go ahead. Mottaki was attending a meeting in the Tajik capital of foreign ministers from the Organization of the Islamic Conference. The draft being discussed at the United Nations Security Council has no legitimacy at all, Irans semi-official Fars news agency quoted President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's senior adviser Mojtaba Samareh-Hashemi as saying.Western diplomats said the text was the result of a compromise between the United States and its three European allies, which had pushed for much tougher sanctions against Tehran, and Russia and China, which sought to dilute them.
