The board of the International Atomic Energy Agency voted on Friday to censure Iran for pursuing its uranium-enrichment program.Diplomats inside the meeting of the UN's nuclear watchdog said 25 of the 34 board nations present voted for a resolution criticizing Iran for its defiant pursuit of its nuclear program. Three members voted against the resolution and another six abstained, according to reports from inside the meeting.
All six countries involved in the negotiations with Iran in the fall the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany backed the resolution.
Iran agreed to allow the inspectors, but balked at a UN-proposed plan to ship its available supply of enriched uranium to Russia for further enrichment, and have it returned in a form that could be used for civilian purposes but not for weapons.
