TEHRAN, Jan 21 (Reuters)- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Sunday that U.N. Security Council resolutions against Tehran would not affect Iran's nuclear policies even if 10 more of them were passed.

The U.N. Security Council passed a sanctions resolution on Dec. 23 against Iran, calling for the suspension of Iran's nuclear programme, which the West fears is aimed at making nuclear weapons. Iran denies the charge.

"The (U.N.) resolution was born dead and even if they issue 10 more of such resolutions it will not affect Iran's economy and policies," Ahmadinejad said in a speech to parliament broadcast live on state television.
