China has provided the UN’s nuclear agency IAEA with intelligence on Iran’s nuclear programme.

The information was provided by anonymous diplomats who said it was confidential. Beijing and Moscow have been opposing a push by the U.S. and its allies to impose harsher sanctions against Tehran over its nuclear defiance of the UN Security Council.
