The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has adopted a resolution criticizing Iran for refusing to provide answers about uranium traces at three undeclared sites.

The 35-member IAEA Board of Governors passed the resolution brought by the US, UK, Germany and France with 30 votes in favor.

Russian Ambassador Mikhail Ulyanov in a tweet said Russia and China voted against the resolution, while India, Libya and Pakistan abstained.

Iran’s state-run news agency said that the resolution urges Iran to act on an urgent basis to fulfill its legal obligations and take up immediately the IAEA director general’s offer of further engagement to clarify and resolve all outstanding safeguards issues.
