EU Submits Iran Motion to U.N. Agency
The European Union submitted a motion Friday to the U.N. atomic watchdog agency that sets Iran up for referral to the Security Council later this year unless Tehran halts some of its nuclear activities.

Diplomats earlier said a watered-down text was likely to get Russia's support, but the motion contained a direct reference to the Security Council and held out the likelihood of referral in the coming months.

Iran increased the pressure against referral to the Security Council, diplomats told The Associated Press, threatening to restart uranium enrichment — a possible pathway to nuclear arms.

The diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss details of the closed proceedings, also said Iran warned it could stop granting U.N. inspectors extra access under an agreement it had signed but not yet ratified.
