United States responded with little fanfare to communication with officials in Washington and some of the other major powers involved in the deadlock, said the agreement signed with the external communication of Turkey and Brazil have failed to ease their concerns that Iran is eventually intended to develop a nuclear weapons capability.
During Wednesday's call, "said Obama raised those concerns again," Erdogan that the international community is divided "the continuing and fundamental concerns about Iran's overall nuclear program and Iran's lack of living up to its international obligations."
Tuesday the United States introduced a UN resolution aimed at Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program, won long-awaited and important support from China and Russia for new sanctions against his powerful Revolutionary Guard, and new measures to try to limit Iran's military, economic, and shipping.
Iran rejected the resolution as "illegal" on Wednesday, calling it a reactionary response to the Turkish-Brazilian deal.
"The resolution being debated in the Security Council has no legitimacy whatsoever," the official news agency IRNA quoted the top Iranian presidential advisor Mojtaba Samareh Hashemi as saying after a cabinet meeting.
U.S. Ambassador to UN Susan Rice emphasized that the draft resolution and uranium swap agreement has nothing to do with each other and told reporters that Iran's decision to continue enriching uranium to 20 percent strengthens its violations of sanctions and "eliminates any confidence-building potential.
The senior UN diplomat has raised some questions about Iran-Turkey-Brazil agreement, noting that in the first paragraph, says that Iran has the right to enrich nuclear material that is not expressly permitted under the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty and is prohibited under previous UNSC resolutions .
