Iran: UN Security Council not credible

Mojtaba Samareh-Hashemi
Iranian president's top advisor has said the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has lost credibility due to its discriminatory decisions.
"The UN Security Council is not credible anymore because it takes discriminatory decisions under the pressure of big powers," Mojtaba Samareh-Hashemi was quoted as saying by IRNA on Friday.
The official was referring to resolutions adopted by the UNSC over Iran's nuclear program. He once again reiterated that Iran would not retreat from its peaceful nuclear activities.
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Monday the UN Security Council established by Western countries acts discriminatively and corruptly.
"A few have become the world's rulers and do not allow anybody [else] to criticize them, and they immediately adopt a resolution against anybody who does so," the Iranian president noted.
Samareh-Hashemi also criticized the United States for having the nuclear technology and accusing Iran of pursuing a military weapons program.
Stressing the remarks Ahmadinejad has made a number of times, Samareh-Hashemi quoted the President as saying "If nuclear energy is good, why should not we have it? And if it is bad, why do you have it?"
"Everybody gives up to this fair quotation... and this has caused Iran to become a nuclear state," he added.
The UN nuclear agency in its latest report in February reaffirmed that Iran's nuclear program has never been diverted towards making nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, all reports the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has so far issued on Tehran's nuclear activities verify the peacefulness of Iran's civilian nuclear program.
Iran says its nuclear program is solely aimed at peaceful purposes, but Washington and its allies have repeatedly accused Tehran of pursuing a military nuclear program.
The Islamic Republic says that as a member of the IAEA and a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, it has the right to use peaceful nuclear energy.
