IAEA board formally declares Iran in breach of non-proliferation obligations

The 35-member IAEA Board of Governors adopted a resolution finding Iran non-compliant with its nuclear safeguards obligations, the first such censure in about 20 years (since 2005). The measure, tabled by the US, UK, France and Germany, passed 19 in favor, 3 against (Russia, China, Burkina Faso) and 11 abstentions. It cited Iran's failure to explain uranium traces at undeclared sites and its stockpiling of near-weapons-grade uranium.
