VIENNA, Feb. 4 (Xinhuanet) -- Javad Vaeidi, deputy
secretary of Supreme National Security Council of Iran warned here Saturday that
Tehran will resume "full-scale" of uranium enrichment in response to UN nuclear
watchdog's decision to report Iran's nuclear issue to the Security Council.
The extraordinary meeting of the IAEA (International
Atomic Energy Agency) Board of Governors adopted here Saturday a resolution to
report Iran's nuclear issue to the United Nations Security Council over concerns
that Tehran is developing nuclear weapons.
The resolution, which was submitted by France,
Germany and Britain, was approved with an overwhelming majority from the IAEA
decision-making body. Of the 35 members within the IAEA Board of Governors, 27
voted yes, 3 voted no and 5 abstained.
Iran has insisted that its nuclear program is
designed to meet rising domestic demand for electricity and that it is fully
peaceful. Iran also threatened to end cooperation with IAEA if referred to the
UN Security Council. Enditem |
