Venezuela and Cuba Thursday rejected taking Iran nuclear
dossier to the UN Security Council at the executive body of
the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna.
"We are going to vote no, and we expect Cuba does it too,"
Venezuelan ambassador Gustavo Márquez Marín told
reporters, as quoted by AFP.
Venezuela was the only country that voted to reject a resolution
taking Iran nuke dossier to the UN Security Council at the
end of September last year.
World powers, including Russia and China, have agreed to
take the Iranian issue to the Security Council, according
to several diplomatic sources.
Meanwhile, in a communiqué, Cuba, a new member of IAEA
board of governors, said it "firmly opposes to the use of
this sovereign decision as a new excuse to condemn that country
(Iran)."
