India joins the United States in voting against Iran in the IAEA, demands stoppage of nuclear program. IAEA censures Iran, asks it to halt enrichment programme in a resolution backed by India and other world powers in the 35-member board of the United Nations nuclear watchdog.
Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh has said that Iran must not go down the nuclear weapons path, and added New Delhi has unambiguously and consistently said that it does not support such a step.
The resolution, drafted by diplomats from the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China, demands Iran halt construction of a previously-secret uranium enrichment site and confirm it has no other hidden nuclear activities.
Mohamed ElBaradei, Head of IAEA, had criticized Iran for hiding its efforts to build the uranium enrichment site near the city of Qom until early September.
