The IAEA resolution called on Iran to clear up outstanding questions about its nuclear capabilities, but did not refer it to the UN Security Council.

The resolution was adopted by 32 votes against two - Cuba and Ecuador - at an IAEA meeting in Vienna.

The IAEA has been debating its recent hard-hitting report on Iran - released last week in the Austrian capital.

The resolution asks Iran to clarify matters "to exclude the existence of possible military dimensions" to its nuclear programme.

The document also says it is "essential for Iran and the agency to intensify their dialogue".

A recent IAEA report said Iran had carried out tests "relevant to the development of a nuclear device". Iran's IAEA envoy, Ali Ashgar Soltanieh, said the resolution would only strengthen Iran's resolve.

Iran insists that it is enriching uranium only to use as fuel for nuclear power stations. However, the US and its allies believe it is trying to develop a nuclear weapon.
