The UN Security Council has unanimously passed a new resolution on Iran, reaffirming demands it stop enriching uranium, but imposing no new sanctions.
The text calls on Iran "to fully comply and without delay with its obligations" under past resolutions and co-operate with the UN nuclear watchdog, the IAEA.
The draft was agreed after Russia said it would not support further sanctions.
The West suspects Iran wants to build a nuclear weapons capability. Tehran says its nuclear programme is peaceful.
Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili, said the new resolution would cause "mistrust" and would not help global peace and security.
"These [resolutions] are not constructive," he told Iranian television. "What they need to do is to attract the trust of the Iranian nation through constructive co-operation and collective commitment."
On Wednesday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned it would resist "bullying powers" trying to thwart its nuclear ambitions.
