Iran: Will continue the nuclear program

Iran's response to the sanctions resolution which was passed by the UN Security Council today is blatant disregard. The Iranian FM issued a statement in which it proclaimed that Iran views the resolution as illegal and will continue its nuclear program as it is its inherent right. Iran criticized the lack of action which is taken by the UN regarding Israel's nuclear program which was supposedly confirmed by PM Ehud Olmert.
The United States issued a statement in which it displayed satisfaction with the resolution but went on to say that further steps will have to be taken to deter Iran.
