The UN nuclear watchdog's governing board adopted a resolution today "deploring" Iran's lack of co-operation and urged it to improve its behaviour, a diplomat on the board said.
But the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) draft - co-sponsored by France, Britain and Germany - does not threaten to report Iran to the UN Security Council for possible sanctions in the event of further poor cooperation.
The United States accuses Iran of using its nuclear programme as a front to build a bomb. Iran denies this, insisting its ambitions are limited to the peaceful generation of electricity.
