IAEA urges Iran's full cooperation

The International Atomic Energy Agency has passed a resolution urging Iran to fully cooperate with its demands to stop uranium enrichment.

The resolution issued in Vienna was passed by a 25-to-3 margin, with six abstentions. The resolution urges Iran to immediately halt construction of the Fordow enrichment plant, located in a mountain bunker, and to clarify its purpose and confirm it has no more hidden atomic facilities or clandestine plans. It is the first IAEA resolution against Iran since February 2006. It was revealed in September that Iran had been building a second enrichment site for at least two years. Last year, Iran assured the IAEA it was not hiding any nuclear-related activities in violation of transparency rules.
