UN watchdog cuts many aid projects in Iran
VIENNA, Feb 9 (Reuters) The United Nations nuclear agency has curbed almost half its aid projects in Iran to uphold UN sanctions imposed on Tehran over its disputed atomic energy programme, according to a report obtained by Reuters.
The decision, based on a review by International Atomic Energy Agency experts, will be submitted for formal approval to a March meeting of the IAEA's board of governors, where Western and developing nations are deeply split over how much to discipline Iran.
