The UN nuclear watchdog's governing body has passed a resolution condemning Iran for developing a uranium enrichment site in secret. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) also demanded that Iran should freeze the project immediately. The resolution, first against Iran in nearly four years, was passed by a 25-3 margin with six abstentions. It was passed with rare Russian and Chinese backing, but it is unclear whether this means the two would support sanctions against Tehran. Iran says its nuclear programme is for peaceful energy purposes, but the US says it is seeking nuclear weapons. In September, it emerged that Iran had a second uranium enrichment facility, deepening Western fears about its nuclear ambitions. Tehran has failed to agree to a US-backed plan under which its low-enriched uranium would be shipped overseas for processing into fuel. This is seen as a way for Iran to get the fuel it wants, while giving guarantees to the West that it will not be used for nuclear weapons.<br/>
