TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iranian state radio said Saturday that the government would reject a proposed U.N. resolution that would give it until Aug. 31 to suspend uranium enrichment or face the threat of international sanctions. "Iranians will not accept unfair decisions, even in the framework of resolutions by the international bodies," the commentary on state-run radio said. There has been no official comment to the draft resolution, but state radio often is thought to provide the Iranian government line. "Ultimatum and deadline cannot be acceptable to us," the commentary said, accusing the United States and its allies of making what it called an illegal demand.
The commentary also said the draft might not be approved because of opposition by China.
Tehran said last week it would reply Aug. 22 to a Western incentive package, but the council decided to go ahead with a resolution and not wait for Iran's response.
