Ahmadinejad: Annan Undercuts Security Council
At his news conference today President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad discussed a variety of issues, including the current impasse over Iran’s nuclear program and the United Nations Security Council. He told his audience: “After the resolution was issued, the UN Secretary General Kofi Annan called me and criticized such a hasty move.” If this is true, is there any wonder that the Iranians are not taking the UNSC’s demands seriously? Why should they when after the Security Council acts, the Secretary General calls and criticizes the move? And I have to wonder: in the wake of the passage of UNSC 1701, did Anan pick up the phone and undercut the Security Council again?
If Ahmadinejad is telling the truth, Annan has some answering to do. But, then again, this is the UN, right? So nothing will be said.
