[Washington Post] Robin Wright - The Bush administration plans to push for new sanctions against Iran after the UN nuclear watchdog agency reported Thursday that Tehran is providing "diminishing" information about its controversial nuclear program, U.S. officials said. The IAEA said Iran provided new information on a secret program that became public in 2002, but Iran is less cooperative on its current program. The U.S. warned Thursday that Iran's failure to fully comply with UN mandates - to suspend enrichment and detail its nuclear program - is grounds for the UN to proceed on a long-delayed resolution imposing new sanctions. "The key thing from the director general's report is that Iran's cooperation remains selective and incomplete," said Gregory L. Schulte, the U.S. envoy to the IAEA in Austria. "So Iran has not met the world's expectation that it would disclose information on both its current and past programs."
