UN nuclear watchdog to hear report on Iran
2006-09-11
VIENNA - The UN nuclear watchdog’s 35-nation board of governors will hear a report on Iran’s nuclear program at a meeting which starts Monday, but is not expected to take decisive action. “No one expects anything any fireworks,” a diplomat close to the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) told AFP, as the political action over Iran’s contested nuclear work is taking place elsewhere.

The IAEA has been investigating IranÂ’s nuclear program for over three years on US charges that Tehran is hiding the development of nuclear weapons.
And they'll keep investigating, you betcha ...
IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei will present a report that documents how Iran failed to heed an August 31 United Nations Security Council deadline to suspend uranium enrichment, which makes nuclear power reactor fuel but can also produce atom bomb material.

But while the IAEA board has in the past taken key steps on Iran, such as in February finding it in violation of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) for hiding sensitive nuclear work, the stage is now set for the Security Council to ignore hear US pleas for sanctions against Iran.
