The UN ​nuclear ​watchdog's 35-nation Board of Governors passed a US-backed resolution on Wednesday telling Iran ⁠to declare its ⁠remaining enriched uranium stocks and let inspectors verify ‌them, which ​could complicate Washington's ⁠talks with ​Tehran. The resolution submitted ‌by the ​United States, Britain, France and Germany was passed with 21 votes in ‌favour, three against and ​10 abstentions, diplomats ​at ‌the ⁠closed-door meeting said. The countries opposing ​were Russia, China ⁠and Niger, ​they said, adding that Venezuela was not allowed ​to take part. — Reuters
