Iran censured by IAEA

The United Nations nuclear watchdog on Friday demanded that the country freeze operations "immediately" at a once-secret uranium enrichment plant. In an overwhelming display of disapproval, the International Atomic Energy Agency also expressed "serious concern" about potential military aspects of Iran's nuclear program. The censure resolution, the first against Iran in almost four years, passed on a 25-3 vote and was sponsored by the US, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany.
