France, Germany and Britain will seek to censure Iran over its lack of cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog at a board meeting starting this Monday in Vienna, despite US opposition.

According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Tehran is the only non-nuclear weapon state to enrich uranium to 60 percent, while it keeps accumulating large uranium stockpiles.
