DAR AL ISLAM-IRAN: UNSC RESOLUTION 1737 WILL DAMAGE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMY

UNSC anti-Iran resolution will damage international trade

Head of Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Mines Mohammad Nahavandian said on Wednesday that the anti-Iran resolution adopted by the United Nations Security Council would damage international trade.

Speaking at a local meeting, the official said the Resolution 1737 not only would not resolve Iran's nuclear issue but it would damage global economy.

The UNSC voted, under the US and Britain's strong pressures, to impose sanctions on Iran in an attempt to deprive the country from its legitimate right of pursuance of peaceful nuclear energy as a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

Stressing that the sanctions imposed on Iran would only include those goods which are related to nuclear technology, Nahavandian suggested other world countries "to avoid a lose-lose approach at the international scene" and follow Tehran's reasonable stance which is to welcome negotiations to settle the nuclear problem.

"Iran has always been opposing any form of taking revenge or carrying out provocative acts," Nahavandian reiterated adding that Iran's economy supports the idea of holding talks in order to reach an agreement.

"History has proved that imposing sanction is not a proper way leading certain powers to their goals," he stressed.
