VIENNA (Reuters) – The U.N. nuclear watchdog’s governing board has reached a "broad consensus" that Iran should not be allowed to pursue nuclear enrichment, which would enable it to develop atom bombs, an EU diplomat said on Thursday.A draft statement outlining this position was submitted by the European Union’s three biggest powers — France, Britain and Germany — to the chairman of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) board as it began a 2-day meeting.
"There is a broad consensus not to allow Iran in the present circumstances conducting enrichment related activities on its soil," said the draft of a summary statement to be read by the IAEA board’s chairman at the conclusion of the board meeting.
