Will Iran Be Reported to the United Nations?

Moment of truth looms for Europe on Iran

The European Union (EU) has less than two days to decide whether to turn Iran over to the United Nations (UN) over Iran’s nuclear power program. This risks an increase in Tehran’s nuclear activities. If the EU decides not to turn Iran in, the EU will be charged with a climb-down on nuclear proliferation. Iran has threatened that if it is reported to the United Nations, Iran will resume the enrichment of uranium which will in turn be able to create weapon-grade material that will restrict IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency, the agency who watches for nuclear weapons for the UN) inspector’s access. The EU promised the US that it would support a referral to the UN because of Iran’s record of concealing nuclear activities if the voluntary deal with Germany, France, and the UK came apart, as it now has. This promise has been broken.
