UN agency demands full information of Iran’s nuclear stockpile

Iran FM says IAEA resolution ‘disrupting’ cooperation

- 

The UN atomic watchdog yesterday demanded that Iran fully cooperate with the agency and provide “precise information” about its stockpile of near weaponsgrade uranium, as well as grant its inspectors access to Iranian nuclear sites.

The development sets the stage for a likely further escalation between the UN nuclear agency and Iran, which has reacted strongly to similar moves by the watchdog in the past.

19 nations support

Nineteen countries on the International Atomic Energy Agency’s 35-member board of governors voted for the resolution at the IAEA’s headquarters in Vienna, according to diplomats who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the outcome of the closed-doors vote.
