Provides background on and overview of nuclear programs in Iran. Describes legal authority for International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) board investigations; and UN Security Council requirements that Iran cooperate fully with IAEA investigation of its nuclear activities, suspend its uranium enrichment program, suspend its construction of a heavy water reactor and related projects, and ratify the Additional Protocol to its IAEA safeguards agreement. Examines claims that Iran has violated the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which it signed in 1970.
