The head of the Islamic Republic of Iran's delegation to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has welcomed the new resolution from the agency. The resolution expresses regret over Iran's lack of full cooperation in inspections; however, Hossein Mousavian deemed it more positive than previous drafts on Friday, stating that the resolution also acknowledges the steps Iran has taken towards cooperation with United Nations inspectors, such as agreeing to surprise inspections. Mr. Mousavian added that the resolution does not refer Iran's case to the Security Council, where it could have faced sanctions due to lack of full cooperation. He considered this a defeat for the United States.
