VIENNA (Reuters) -An exceptional meeting of the U.N. nuclear watchdog’s board of governors will be held to discuss Israel’s strikes on Iran after at least one country on the board requested one at Friday’s regular, quarterly session of the body, diplomats said.
Any country on the board can call a meeting under its rules. Iran, which is not on the board, requested a meeting and its call was supported by board members Russia, China and Venezuela, diplomats said. The diplomats gave differing accounts as to which board member was the first to clearly make the request.
