Tehran, Dec 31 -- Iran\'s former president and expediency council chairman Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani on Sunday harshly criticized recent anti-Iran UN Security Council resolution and stressed that Iran\'s nuclear activities are peaceful.

Addressing large groups of worshipers at Tehran University campus on Eid Qurban (Feast of Sacrifice), Ayatollah Rafsanjani said Iran is ready to continue its peaceful nuclear activities under the international regulations.

While underlining Iran\'s readiness for dialogue with the Group 5+1 on its peaceful nuclear program, Ayatollah Rafsanjani warned against any problem that might arise in the negotiation process.

\"The officials too should settle the existing problems with generosity; any problem by any of the parties would be hard to compensate,\" said Ayatollah Rafsanjani.
