Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has dismissed the new UN sanctions over Iran\'s nuclear programme.
Earlier, the UN Security Council voted to impose a fourth round of sanctions on Tehran for failing to halt its nuclear enrichment programme.
They include tighter finance curbs and an expanded arms embargo, but not the crippling sanctions the US had wanted.
Iran has denied building nuclear weapons, insisting that it only seeks atomic energy.
US President Barack Obama says the sanctions sent an unmistakable message about the determination to stop the spread of nuclear arms.
