Tehran - Iran will never comply with any UN Security Council resolution ordering it to suspend uranium enrichment, foreign ministry spokesperson Hamid Reza Asefi said on Sunday.

When asked what the Islamic republic would do if any UN Security Council resolution orders it to suspend uranium enrichment, Asefi said: "Never."

He did not elaborate more.

Although Tehran has proposed suspending industrial-scale enrichment, it is refusing to halt enrichment research -- but Western powers argue that even this would allow the clerical regime to acquire nuclear weapons know-how.
