UN Nuclear Watchdog's Board Raises Pressure on Iran over Suspect Sites
(Reuters) The Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) called on Iran on Friday to stop denying the agency access to two suspected former sites and to cooperate fully with it, diplomats said. The resolution raised pressure on Iran to let inspectors into the sites, mentioned in two IAEA reports, that could still host undeclared nuclear material or traces of it. The resolution passed by a 25-2 margin with seven abstentions. China and Russia opposed the measure. Israel's seizure of an "archive" of Iran's past work appears to have yielded new clues on old activities. Iran argues that it is inadmissible for the IAEA to seek access based on the Israeli information.
