Iran's top nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili said here Saturday that UN Security Council's new resolution is not constructive and "it won't help keep global peace and security," Iranian state TV reported.

"What we need today is to do something to attract the trust of Iranians, not to cause their further mistrust," Jalili was quoted as saying.

He said the new resolution is more like a declaration rather than a resolution, which aims to prove that there is cohesion among the powers over Iran's nuclear issue.

Representatives from the United States, China, Russia, Britain,France and Germany on Friday agreed to submit to UN Security Council a draft resolution reaffirming existing sanctions on Iran.

According to a report that the International Atomic Energy Agency released on Monday, due to Tehran's block, the UN nuclear watchdog had been unable to make much progress in investigating Iran's suspect nuclear program.

The United States and its allies have accused Iran of developing nuclear weapons, but Iran insists that its nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad shrugged off international sanctions threat on Thursday. "Whatever they do, Iran will continue its activities. Sanctions are not important," he told a news conference. "The era of such threats has ended."

Iran till now has been under three UN sanctions over its disputed nuclear program.
