TEHRAN, Iran – Iran’s hard-line Guardian Council on Saturday approved a law that puts pressure on the government to develop nuclear technology that could be used to build atomic weapons, state run radio reported.
Parliament had passed the bill on May 15 and sent it to the Guardian Council for approval. The council must vet all bills before they become law.
The passing of the law does not force the government to resume uranium enrichment immediately but puts pressure on it to pursue nuclear goals.
