TEHRAN: Iran's ambassador to the UN atomic watchdog said on Monday that his country would continue enriching uranium in defiance of UN Security Council demands, the state-run news agency reported."Stating that Iran did not obey the United Nations Security Council resolution asking it to halt uranium enrichment shows this reality -- that Iran found no logical and legal reasons for doing so," Ali Asghar Soltanieh said. "Therefore it cannot give up its undeniable right under the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) charter," agency quoted him as saying. The IAEA on Monday accused Tehran of continuing to stall over a UN probe into its disputed nuclear programme, refusing to provide access to documentation, individuals or sites which could reveal the true nature of its activities.
