NCRI - Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, welcomed the Presidential statement adopted unanimously by the United Nations Security Council, which called for a halt in all enrichment activities including any research. 

Mrs. Rajavi called for comprehensive sanctions against the regime to prevent it from obtaining nuclear weapons.

The President-elect of the Iranian Resistance described last night's Security Council Statement as a useful and necessary step.  "The only way to prevent the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism from arming itself with nuclear weapons, is to completely abandon appeasement and act firmly and quickly against the mullahs," Mrs. Rajavi said.

Recalling three years of fruitless talks with the mullahs, Mrs. Rajavi added, "While the mullahs secretly and openly insist on continuing their nuclear projects and uranium enrichment, any hesitation and delay in adopting a firm policy and enforcing sanctions against the mullahs' regime, will only give them more time, the only thing they need to acquire nuclear weapons."
