Iran's Revolutionary Guards Denounce UN Resolution Endorsing Nuclear Deal
(Reuters) Bozorghmehr Sharafedin - Iran's Revolutionary Guards denounced the UN Security Council resolution endorsing last week's nuclear deal, saying it crossed "red lines" set by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. The deal is still under review in Iran, where it must be endorsed by the National Security Council and later by Khamenei. "Some parts of the (resolution) draft have clearly crossed the Islamic Republic's red lines, especially in Iran's military capabilities," Revolutionary Guards commander Mohammed Ali Jafari said. "We will never accept it." Hossein Shariatmadari, editor-in-chief of Kayhan, a newspaper closely associated with Khamenei, wrote, "You can see some vital red lines of the Islamic Republic have not been preserved." Ahmad Bakhshayesh, a member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee in parliament, said, "The negotiating team was not supposed to negotiate on Iran's ballistic missile technology."
