The Security Council,

Recording the presidential statement S/PRST/2006/15, of March 29, 2006, and its Resolution 1696 (2006) of July 31, 2006,

Reaffirming its commitment to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and recalling the right of States Parties, in concordance with Articles I and II of such a Treaty, to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, without discrimination,

Reiterating its serious concern as to the various reports of the IAEA Director-General and the resolutions of the IAEA Board of Governors concerning Iran's nuclear program, sent to this Council by the Director General of the IAEA, including Junta's Resolution GOV/2006/14,

Reiterating its serious concern as to the fact that the IAEA Director General's report of February 27, 2006 (GOV/2006/27) lists a number of outstanding issues and concerns about Iran's nuclear program, including issues that could have a military nuclear dimension, and how much to the fact that the IAEA has not been able to come to the conclusion that there are no undeclared nuclear materials or activities in the Iran,

Reiterating its serious concern as to the IAEA Director General's 28 report of april 2006 (GOV/2006/15) and its conclusions, in particular that after more than three years of efforts on the part of the Agency with a view to clarifying all aspects of Iran's nuclear program, existing uncertainties continue to raise concern, and that the IAEA has not been able to progress in its efforts for the provision of guarantees regarding the non-existence of undeclared nuclear materials and activities in Iran,

Observing with serious concern that, as confirmed by the reports of the IAEA Director General of June 8, 2006 (GOV/2006/38), August 31, 2006 (GOV/2006/53) and November 14, 2006 (GOV/2006/64), Iran has not demonstrated that they have been suspended in a full and sustained manner all activities related to enrichment and reprocessing, as per the provisions of Resolution 1696 (2006), nor did it either resume its cooperation with the IAEA in accordance with the Additional Protocol, nor did it adopt the measures required by the IAEA Board of Governors, or complied with the provisions of Resolution 1696 (2006) of the Security Council, which are essential to generate trust, and deploring the Iranian refusal to adopt such measures,

Underlining the importance of political and diplomatic efforts in the search for a negotiated solution that ensures that the Iranian nuclear program is destined exclusively for pacific purposes, and noting that such a solution would benefit nuclear non-proliferation elsewhere, and hailing the continued commitment of Germany, China, the United States, France, the Russian Federation and the United Kingdom, with the respalate of the Upper Representative of the European Union, with the search for a negotiated solution,

Determined to make effective its decisions, adopting the appropriate measures to persuade Iran to act in accordance with the provisions of Resolution 1696 (2006), and with the IAEA's demands, as also to prevent Iran from developing sensitive technologies in support of its nuclear and Artistic Programs, until the time the Security Council determines that the objectives of this Resolution have been achieved.

Concers about the proliferation risks offered by the Iranian nuclear program, and, in that context, by the fact that Iran follows by unfulfilling the requirements of the IAEA Board of Governors and the devices of Security Council Resolution 1696 (2006), and aware of its paramount responsibility, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, for the maintenance of international peace and security,
