Iran censured over nuclear cover-ups

The UN atomic agency today adopted a resolution censuring Iran for past nuclear cover-ups and warning that its activities would be thoroughly policed to put to rest suspicions that the country had a weapons agenda.

The resolution, adopted by the 35 nation board of governors of the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency, did not confront Iran with a direct threat of sanctions – resolving a sticking point between the United States and key European powers over how to deal with Tehran.
