Cease-fire rejected
NZPA-Reuter Nicosia Iranian President All Khamenei has said Iran will never accept a United Nations Security Council resolution demanding a cease-fire in the Iran-Iraq war, Teheran Radio reported. “We will pursue the war ... until the elimination of the regime governing Iraq,” the radio quoted Khamenei as saying in a speech at Ardebil in north-east Iran. “Iran will never accept this resolution, which was elaborated under
United States pressure,” Khamenei said. Teheran Radio quoted Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Velayati as saying Monday’s resolution had positive points, but was “not enough” because it did not name Iraq as the original aggressor. “If they even refrain from mentioning the name of Iraq as the aggressor then it means that they lack the courage to adopt a correct and just decision,” Velayati said.
