IAEA to vote on demand Iran freeze new nuclear site

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.
