The UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution on Saturday to reaffirm its previous resolutions on Iran and demand full compliance from the Islamic Republic.

The six major countries – the United States, Britain, China, France, Russia, Britain and Germany – agreed on the text of the resolution on Friday in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly's annual debate.

Resolution 1835 reaffirmed its previous resolutions on Iran since July 2006 but contained no new sanctions.

It reaffirmed "its commitment ... to an early negotiated solution to the Iranian nuclear issue and welcomes the continuing efforts in this regard."

It called on Iran "to comply fully and without delay with its obligations" under the resolutions, and to meet the requirements of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors.

Since 2006, the Security Council has passed four resolutions on Iran, three of which slapped incremental sanctions over its noncompliance with the UN's call for it to stop nuclear enrichment.
