As a Pyrrhic victory cataloged Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, the resolution adopted by the Security Council of the United Nations Organization (UN) to impose new sanctions on Iran, as a result of the decision of the Gulf country Persian does not waive its right to develop peaceful nuclear program.  Lula, whose country holds a nonpermanent seat on the UN body said to the press in Natal (northeastern Brazil) that the decision to impose new sanctions against Iran weakens the Council which, in his opinion has not changed since that was created in 1948. 

"It's a Pyrrhic victory (Â ...)" is an episode that weakens the Security Council of the United Nations, "said the president of Brazil, whose diplomatic mission to the UN voted against the resolution. "The Security Council represents the same correlation of forces in 1948 when it was created," Lula questioned. United States lobbied the Security Council of the UN to impose new sanctions on Iran, as with France and Britain have speculated that Iran, with its civilian nuclear program, seeks to build atomic weapons. 

However, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has repeatedly said that his country seeks only to explore alternative sources of energy, but in any case the Council decided to impose new restrictions. The Brazilian president said that together with the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, decided to vote against the resolution of the Security Council of the UN because they signed an agreement with Iran last table, through which it was stated that Turkey will supply fuel the Persian nation nuclear exchange for low enriched uranium. 

"I sincerely hope that Ahmadinejad remain calm. I talked a lot with the prime minister of Turkey and decided to vote against (of sanctions on Iran) because we have our name on an agreement," said the Brazilian president. He stressed that Brazil and Turkey were able to bring Iran to negotiate, to resolve the international crisis over its nuclear program has aupado United States, which failed to make the countries that occupy permanent seats on the Security Council. 

"I think we must have patience when we see the obvious. Brazil and Turkey did what the countries of the Council of the UN failed to do: take Iran to the negotiating table. Instead, they resolved, in my personal opinion,  to keep the sanctions and will not have any explanation for Iran, "he insisted. Ahmadinejad, known after the adoption of UN resolution, considered that the new sanctions "are not worth a penny to Iran and must go away." "I told one of them (representing powers): These resolutions are only used tissues vote and must go away," the Iranian president a few minutes after the announcement of the vote in the Security Council.
