UN atomic agency may meet in January on Iran
2006-12-28
VIENNA - The United Nations atomic agencyÂ’s 35-nation board of governors may meet in January to discuss the UNÂ’s levying of sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program, diplomats told AFP.
Then again, they may not.
The UN Security Council resolution which on Saturday imposed the sanctions also requested a report from International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei within 60 days on whether Iran has suspended uranium enrichment, which makes nuclear reactor fuel but also atom bomb material, and cooperated fully with an ongoing IAEA investigation.

‘It is not completely clear that there will be a board meeting in January. But I believe that if there was, it would be procedural and short. The board as the governing body may need to instruct the (IAEA) secretariat to implement the resolution,’ a senior European diplomat said.

But the diplomat added that an emergency board meeting, probably in mid-January, could be extended or another called at any moment if the ‘Iranians do anything silly.’
Define silly. That should be good for a laugh.

#4  Not crackers, rounds of good Russian black bread. Possibly melba toast style if the soul cries out for something hard and stiff with which to carry the chilled caviar to one's lips.

The big question is Beluga, Ossetra, or Sevruga?
