Iran to reject nuclear deadline

TEHERAN: An Iranian state radio commentary said on Saturday Teheran would reject a proposed U.N. resolution that calls for it to suspend uranium enrichment by the end of August or face the threat of international sanctions.

``Iranians will not accept unfair decisions, even in the framework of resolutions by the international bodies,'' the state-run radio said.

The comment came in the absence of any official reaction to the draft that was formally circulated to the full 15-member Council late on Friday and will likely be adopted next week. However, state radio is often considered an official reaction in Iran.
