Iran warned to bring UN atomic watchdog before Security Council as 'confrontation'

Iran warned it will view the UN atomic watchdog's approval of European proposals to bring it before the Security Council as a 'confrontation,' in comments by a senior Iranian official.

The European Union has two draft proposals being circulated at the International Atomic Energy Agency which is to meet later today.

If either is adopted, 'we consider them a confrontation because in both texts there is a reference and room for the Security Council,' Iranian National Security Council deputy chief Javad Vaidi told reporters.
