VIENNA (Reuters) – World powers are demanding that Iran immediately mothball a uranium enrichment site it hid for years, heightening fears it is planning to build atom bombs, in a resolution to be voted on by U.N. nuclear watchdog governors. Diplomats forecast majority approval for the resolution in a vote in Vienna by the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) 35-nation governing board on Thursday or Friday in what would be its first action against Iran in almost four years.

The move reflects dismay over Iran’s September disclosure of a second enrichment site it had been building clandestinely for two years, and frustration at Iran’s hold-up of an IAEA-brokered plan to give it fuel for its nuclear medical programme if it parts with enriched uranium that could be used in weapons.
