The governments of France, Germany, and Britain have submitted a new draft resolution regarding Iran to the representatives of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), but representatives say that according to the United States government, this resolution lacks sufficient power. Last week, 35 member countries of the IAEA Board were unable to reach a consensus regarding Iran's nuclear research program. Diplomats say that the U.S. government has withdrawn its request to condemn Iran for violating the terms of the Additional Protocol of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. However, they state that negotiators want the draft to include a conditional clause that would allow the issue to be referred to the United Nations Security Council in the event of future violations by Iran.
