The Bush administration states that if Iran does not fully disclose its nuclear activities, it will call for sanctions against Iran from the United Nations at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) board meeting in September. On Monday, Colin Powell, the U.S. Secretary of State, raised the issue of sanctions against Iran following his discussions with Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the IAEA, in Washington. Powell mentioned that the U.S. government would decide on appropriate action based on Tehran's response regarding its nuclear program. The IAEA board, in a resolution passed last Friday, declared that Iran has not fulfilled its promises regarding the complete disclosure of its nuclear activities and urged the Tehran government to respond to outstanding questions about Iran's nuclear program. Iran claims that its nuclear program is aimed at providing energy for public consumption. Iran has denied U.S. accusations that its nuclear program is intended to conceal efforts related to the production of nuclear weapons.
