Russia’s Anti-Nuke Vote Angers Ahmadinejad

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is upset that Russia voted for a U.N. motion calling for Iran to end construction of a uranium enrishment plant under construction.

 TEHRAN, Iran — President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is upset that Russia voted for a U.N. motion calling for Iran to end construction of a uranium enrishment plant under construction.

In response, Ahmadinejad lashed out at his country’s ally that has promised to supply Iran with uranium enriched at its own facilities.

“Russia made a mistake. It does not have an accurate analysis of today’s world situation,” Ahmadinejad said.

China also receive Tehran’s criticism for voted for the call.

The Iranian president also criticized President Barack Obama for not setting the table for negotiations.

Ahmadinejad also promised that his nation would build 10 more uranium enrishment plants in the future.

However, the U.N. nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, has not accepted Iran’s work at meeting the requirements of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty for the second plant.

Only three of the 35 IAEA members voted against the censure: Malaysia, Venezuela and Cuba.

Iran’s second uranium enrichment plant is to be built near the central Shiite shrine city of Qom.
