Desra said investigating team of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had reported the result of its investigation to the Iranian nuclear program to IAEA's board of governor and UN Security Council.<>

"IAEA's board of governors, of which Indonesia is one of the members, plans to discuss the report from June 11 to 15," he was quoted by Antara news agency as saying.

But he stressed that Indonesia, as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, would never agree to any resolution, which use violence and military action against Iran.

Desra said that his office had not received information when UN Security Council would meet to discuss the IAEA's report.

"Intead, Indonesia will ask Iran to cooperate and fulfil all procedures ..," he was added. (tjp/dar)
