(NEWS) Iran ’Punishes’ UN, Bans Nuke Talks For Two Months

"Iran says it is 'punishing' the United Nations by refusing to hold talks on its nuclear program in retaliation for a new round of sanctions that the Security Council approved. Continuing his offensive against the West, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also threatened retaliation against any attempt to inspect cargo ships headed for the Islamic Republic.

If Western ships carry out searches on cargo vessels headed for Iran, 'We reserve the right to retaliate,' Ahmadinejad said. 'Experience has shown that we can defend our rights. They will strongly regret any action they may take.'"
