Tehran - Iran officially informed the head of the UN's atomic watchdog Thursday it will resume uranium enrichment and limit IAEA inspections if its disputed nuclear drive is reported to the UN security council, IRNA reported.
The threat was contained in a letter from Iran's top national security official Ali Larijani to the International Atomic Energy Agency's director, Mohamed ElBaradei.
"In the event of Iran's case being sent to the security council, in whatever form, the International Atomic Energy Agency's surveillance will be severely limited and Iran will resume all suspended nuclear activities without restriction," Larijani was quoted as having written in the letter.
