Reuters The board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency has adopted a resolution formally criticizing Iran for not cooperating sufficiently over its nuclear program, diplomats said. The draft resolution, put to a vote on Thursday by the European Union-3 group of countries - Britain, France and Germany - with the support of the United States, was supported by 19 of the 35 countries, while Russia, China and Burkina Faso opposed it.
