The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), affiliated with the United Nations, has adopted a resolution criticizing the Islamic Republic for concealing sensitive information related to Iran's nuclear program. An agency official said on Saturday in Vienna that representatives of 35 member countries of the IAEA board approved the resolution without a vote. It states that the board will decide in June on the response to the Islamic Republic's failure to fully disclose its nuclear program, and it does not rule out the possibility that Iran's case may still be referred to the United Nations Security Council for potential sanctions. Amir Zamaniyan, an official from the Islamic Republic's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who spoke at the Vienna meeting, called the resolution a serious defeat and, referring to the United States, stated that this resolution was imposed on the UN's Atomic Energy Agency by one country.
