The International Atomic Energy Agency has censured Iran’s nuclear defiance on Friday. It is the first resolution of the IAEA on Iran since 2006.
UN diplomats say 25 of the 34 IAEA board nations present have voted for a resolution backed by the US, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany.
The document criticizes the country’s refusal to agree the terms of the international community's proposal to ship its uranium abroad.
The resolution also condemns Iran for defying a UN Security Council ban on uranium enrichment that serves as a source of both nuclear fuel and the fissile core of warheads.
Moreover, the paper demands the immediate suspension of the building of an alleged uranium enrichment facility in Iran.
The resolution expresses “serious concern” that Iran may be hiding a military nuclear program and claims that the IAEA cannot prove that Tehran’s nuclear program is 100% peaceful.
Meanwhile, Iran says that the resolution may jeopardize ongoing nuclear talks.
The country’s representative in the IAEA Ali Asgar Soltaneih told in his exclusive interview to RT that the agency’s move comes as a big disappointment for Iran.
He said that the IAEA is just applying time delay tactics so as not to resolve the current situation.
“It is ridiculous because the time is more important for us because we need fuel,” he said. “If they are not cooperating with giving us fuel then we will have to find other options.”

Synagogue in Virginia opens doors to MuslimsIn the US state of Virginia there is a remarkable relationship between the local religious communities. The Muslim community is growing and mosques are filling up quickly, so Muslims have begun to visit synagogues. |
And so the beats of the drums of war become louder..... Make no mistake, the US wants Irans oil, its coastline (which is of major strategic importance in controlling the passage of oil), and its land routes to both Pakistan (the next target?) and to Afghanistan. Israel also has a big hand in this and wants to see the only country capable of stopping its expansion crushed - so Israel propogate and manipulate the disinformation regarding Irans nuclear programme to manipulate the oppinion of a still largely ignorant American poulation who have forgotten or don't care about the meaning of peace, diplomacy, and negotiation. We are moving towards a significant confrontation in the region, a confrontation that has been 30 years in the making and which has the potential to make the vast suffering visited upon Iraq and Afghanistan look small in comparison to the terrible death and destruction that the US and Israel have planned for the people of Iran - particularly if the nuclear tipped 'bunker busters' are used. I have no idea how this maddness can be stopped, but I do know that the ramifications of an attack upon Iran will be felt around the world for a very long time.
