EU, UN Pressure Iran on Atomic Program
(Washington Post) - Both the EU and the head of the UN atomic watchdog agency on Monday joined the U.S. in calling for Tehran to accept an intrusive inspections regime designed to curtail its nuclear program. U.S. officials said they are pushing for a vote to censure Iran at a meeting of the board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency now underway in Vienna. If that fails to produce results, the next step could be to refer the dispute to the UN Security Council. The Bush administration says Iran is using its civilian nuclear program as a cover for secretly developing nuclear weapons.
