Iran starts activities at 3,000-centrifuge site: Hosseini

Iran on Sunday said it starts activities at 3,000-centrifuge site as of today and will continue it and complete it in the future.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini made the remark while speaking to domestic and foreign reporters at his weekly press conference.

"This measure is Iran's response to Resolution 1737 of the UN Security Council," he said.

"Iran does not regard as reasonable suspension of enrichment.

Continuation of peaceful nuclear activities in a more coherent way will be Tehran's best response to the Security Council's resolution," he added.

Hosseini assessed as "weak" the resolution adopted by the Security Council against Iran's peaceful nuclear activities, saying, "We do not regard ourselves obliged to (comply with) it because we do not believe the resolution has gone through a proper legal course.

"So, we will go ahead with our peaceful activities."
