| IAEA votes to censure Iran over nuke cover-up |
| 2009-11-28 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] U.N. nuclear watchdog governors voted on Friday to rebuke Iran for building a uranium enrichment plant in secret but Tehran dismissed the move as "intimidation" which would poison its negotiations with world powers. The resolution was the first by the 35-nation board of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) against Iran in almost four years, and a sign of growing alarm over Tehran's failure to dispel fears it has clandestine plans to build nuclear bombs. It passed by a 25-3 margin with six abstentions, smoothed by rare backing from Russia and China, which have blocked global attempts to isolate Iran, a trade partner for both, in the past. Iran's foreign ministry dismissed as "theatrical and useless" the resolution, state news agency IRNA reported. |
