Iranian state radio said Saturday that the government would reject a proposed Security Council resolution that would give it until August 31 to suspend uranium enrichment or face the threat of international sanctions. The resolution was formally circulated to the full 15-member Security Council late Friday and likely will be adopted next week, and John Bolton said the U.S. would seek to impose sanctions if Iran did not accept the offer.
"Iranians will not accept unfair decisions, even in the framework of resolutions by the international bodies," the commentary on state-run radio said. State radio often is thought to provide the Iranian government line. "Ultimatum and deadline cannot be acceptable to us," the commentary said, accusing the United States and its allies of making what it called an illegal demand.
