Iran's Supreme leader is warning that the country will pursue nuclear activities outside international regulations, if the UN Security Council insists on it stopping its uranium enrichment program.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, said, "Until today what we have done has been in accordance with international regulations but if they want to use the Security Council as a tool for ignoring Iran's legal nuclear rights and if they take illegal action we too can take illegal action and we will do so."

Khamenei did not elaborate on what illegal actions Tehran would pursue. But in this stark warning to the US, he says Iran will use all of its capacity to harm the enemies who want to attack it. He says Iran has no objections to the supervision of the IAEA.
