Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 71512, member: 636"] The International Atomic Energy Agency has directed Iran to disclose its enriched uranium stockpile and permit inspections of nuclear facilities damaged in past attacks. A resolution passed by the IAEA Board of Governors, receiving 19 votes in favor with 12 abstentions, formally calls for this information. Russia, China, and Niger voted against the measure. This action follows an IAEA report describing the inspections as critically overdue. Iran, which maintains its nuclear program is peaceful, has called the resolution a major mistake and suspended cooperation. The country now requires its Supreme National Security Council to approve any inspections, voiding a previous access agreement. The resolution was sponsored by the United States, Britain, France, and Germany. It is a non-binding recommendation from the 35-member board, which helps set policy for the 180-member UN-affiliated organization. [/QUOTE]
