Iran Resumes Uranium Conversion Efforts

ISFAHAN, Iran (AP) - Iran resumed uranium conversion activities at its Isfahan nuclear facility Monday, a step that Europeans and the United States have warned would prompt them to seek U.N. sanctions against the Tehran regime.
Work restarted at the conversion facility in central Iran quickly after inspectors from the U.N. nuclear watchdog finished installing surveillance equipment.
The move came a day before the International Atomic Energy Agency's 35-nation board of governors is to hold an emergency session to discuss Iran's nuclear program that was expected to produce a sharply worded warning to Iran. The agency could then refer the issue to the U.N. Security Council, which has the power to impose economic sanctions.
European negotiators and the United States have said they would likely recommend that the IAEA act against Iran if work at Isfahan resumed.
