Resolution asks Iran to clarify nuclear issues

Resolution asks Iran to clarify nuclear issues

The U.N. nuclear watchdog's governing council adopted a resolution Friday expressing "deep and increasing concern about the unresolved issues regarding the Iranian nuclear program."

Among the issues are "those which need to be clarified to exclude the existence of possible military dimensions" in the nuclear program, it says.

The resolution was approved by an overwhelming majority of the International Atomic Energy agency's governing council, including assents from what is called the E3+3 -- Germany, the United States, France, Great Britain, Russia and China -- German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said Friday in Islamabad, Pakistan.

The move underscores "the big worry of the international community about a possible military dimension of the Iranian atomic program. It shows the unity and determination of the E3+3 to bring Iran to keeping up its obligations within the community of nations," Westerwelle said.

"If Iran further denies having serious negotiations regarding its atomic program, new sanctions will be unavoidable," he said.
