"Madam President, Iran, under the government of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is a cause of grave anxiety due to the nuclear ambitions of its rulers. The continued refusal to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency and the related absence of monitoring of the Iranian nuclear programme make it necessary to consider taking emphatic action with respect to Iran.
In view of the fact that it is an authoritarian regime, we have to reckon with the possibility of its posing a threat to other countries, in particular, neighbouring ones. Particular fears are aroused by the anti-Israel rhetoric which the President of Iran has been expressing for quite some time. I consider the position of the Iranian authorities on this matter to be unacceptable and I condemn it categorically. In voting for the resolution, I express my opposition to Iran’s aggressive foreign policy, and also demand the release of political prisoners, a cessation of the persecution of human rights defenders and a commencement of cooperation with international organisations, including UN bodies. I also support the diplomatic efforts of Turkey and Brazil in pursuit of a resolution of the nuclear question."@en1
