The minister drew attention to the different opinions among Council members considering Iran’s nuclear dossier.

Mottaki, saying Iran's nuclear right should be given due attention in the council’s resolution, noted: "Otherwise, we will not accept it.. If they take into account our right, we will take into account the Security Council's decisions."

Mottaki said there are countries that believe in Iran's nuclear right on the Security Council, and hoped the council members take “logical and conscientious decisions."
