Russia, China vote against new Iran resolution on IAEA agenda

PanARMENIAN.Net - Russia and China have voted against including a new draft resolution on Iran into the agenda of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Board of Directors, which is currently meeting in Vienna, The Voice of Russia reported citing ITAR-TASS news agency.

A source in the Russian delegation has told the ITAR-TASS that the previous resolution passed by the IAEA Board at its November session is a comprehensive document and even though its implementation poses certain problems, it’s better than pushing the situation into a deadlock.

The IAEA Board is planning to discuss further steps aimed at persuading Iran to resume dialogue that would allay suspicions surrounding its nuclear program.
