Tehran, Iran, Mar. 06 Iran announced on Monday that the international community would be destabilised if its nuclear file was referred to the Security Council during the latest session of the Board of Governors of the United Nations nuclear watchdog.
The 35 nations of the International Atomic Energy Agencys board have begun their session in Vienna during which they will discuss steps to take against Iran for breeching its international obligations vis-à-vis its nuclear program.
The referral of Irans nuclear file to the Security Council will create key problems for the world order, government spokesman Gholam-Hossein Elham told reporters at his weekly press conference.
Brushing off a warning Sunday by United States ambassador to the UN John Bolton, Elham said that Tehran would not retreat in the face of threats.
Separately, Reuters news agency reported from Vienna that IAEA director general Mohamed ElBaradei said he was still hopeful that an agreement could be reached over Tehrans nuclear program.
