Consultations on Iran`s nuclear program continuing in Vienna

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Vienna, Nov 24, IRNA -- Consultations on Iran`s nuclear program at 
the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) were continuing in the 
Austrian capital city on Wednesday. 
Representatives of Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) member states of 
the IAEA`s 35-member Board of Governors opened a meeting on the issue 
Wednesday morning which is still going on. 
Meanwhile, a meeting held between the NAM troika (Malaysia, 
Brazil, Cuba) and representatives of the European Big 3 (Germany, 
France, Britain) concluded on Tuesday evening without reaching a 
consensus on the Iran nuclear issue. The two sides discussed a draft 
resolution proposed by the European bloc on the nuclear standoff. 
The Islamic Republic of Iran has questioned several paragraphs of 
the draft resolution. 
Washington, which took the nuclear deal clinched last week by 
Iran and the EU Big 3 with guarded caution, has pushed for a "trigger 
mechanism" to be included in the Board of Governors resolution that 
is to be issued on Thursday. 
The trigger mechanism would make referral of Iran`s nuclear 
dossier to the UN Security Council mandatory in the event it is found 
to be in breach of its commitments on Thursday.
