South Africa has raised concern on new punitive measures against Iran, in a resolution currently before the United Nations Security Council's (UNSC), regarding the suspected use of nuclear weapons."We [as South Africa] said in our preliminary comments that we are concerned about the potential impact of new punitive resolutions on Iran at a time when Iran is actively cooperating with the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency]," Foreign Affairs Chief Director for United Nations Political Affairs Xolisa Mabhongo told reporters in Pretoria Tuesday.
"There is optimism both in Iran and the IAEA that there will be more effort put into resolving the outstanding issues."
Explaining South Africa's position on the elements within the resolution, Mr Mabongo said: "We are currently finalising our considerations of the actual resolution, but in the meantime we have submitted our comments on what we have seen in the resolution."
South Africa is entering its second year as a non permanent member of the UNSC, and as such, is at liberty to comment on the proposed resolution.
This article is important because once again it shows another country's, Africa, concern about Iran getting nuclear weapons and plans. Most all countries are seriously concerned.
