Iran may resume uranium enrichment if a draft resolution criticizing it for inadequate cooperation with U.N. inspectors is approved, Iranian President Mohammad Khatami said on Wednesday in his toughest warning so far to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

"If this resolution passes, Iran will have no moral commitment to suspend uranium enrichment," Khatami told reporters. He described the draft resolution prepared by Britain, Germany and France as "very bad" but said Tehran had no intention of following North Korea's example and withdrawing from the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
