Iran reported to Security Council

[phoenix80]

The United Nations nuclear watchdog has voted to report Iran to the Security Council over its nuclear activities.


Twenty-seven states out of 35 on the IAEA board backed the move, with three against and five abstentions.

The decision follows days of intensive diplomacy and could lead to possible UN sanctions against Iran.

An Iranian official said Tehran would resume full-scale enrichment of uranium and Russia's compromise offer to enrich uranium on its own soil was in doubt.
Javad Vaiedi, deputy head of the Supreme National Security Council, said the vote was politically motivated, adding that there was no international consensus.

27 of 35 states, and it is politically motivated? How can this be? That many countries have a political motive, together mind you, to keep Iran from gaining the possibility of making nuclear weapon materials?

Iran stating they are going to go ahead with full scale enrichment regardless of the consequences sounds alot like petulance to me. They do not seem to even want to find a viable solution in regards to alternate uranium production.
