Iran announced Thursday it will launch a new uranium enrichment facility after the United Nations nuclear watchdog determined the country was not in compliance with its nuclear obligations. The

Iran said it has built and will activate a third nuclear enrichment facility, ratcheting up tensions with the U.N. on Thursday immediately after its atomic watchdog agency censured Iran for failing to comply with nonproliferation obligations meant to prevent it from developing a nuclear weapon.

Board of Governors has passed resolution formally declaring Iran noncompliant with its nonproliferation obligations for the first time since 2005, a move Tehran immediately condemned.

The International Atomic Energy Agency declared Iran was in breach of its Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty obligations by failing cooperate with an probe into undeclared nuclear material and activities at multiple sites.
