On Friday, quoting diplomatic sources, the International Atomic Energy Agency's board of governors passed a resolution condemning Iran's behavior.

The resolution, the first to criticize Iran over its nuclear program voted by the United Nations agency since 2012, urges Iran to allow the IAEA access to two suspected nuclear sites to clarify whether there was unauthorized activity in the early 2000s.

The decision was adopted at a meeting of the Board of Governors at the agency's headquarters in Vienna in light of the escalation of tension over Iran's nuclear program in the past months.

The document, presented by France, Germany and the United Kingdom, is said to urge Tehran to cooperate fully with the United Nations' International Atomic Energy Agency.
