Proposed by the three European powers draft resolution on Iran specifically exempts the Russian-built Bushehr nuclear plant from nuclear and missile-related sanctions against Tehran, the Agence France-Presse reports.

The draft copy of the document obtained by the agency was crafted by envoys of Britain, France and Germany in consultations with the United States and presented to their Russian and Chinese colleagues late Tuesday.

It calls on UN member states to “take necessary measures to prevent the supply, sale or transfer directly or indirectly from their territories or by their nationals … of all items, materials, equipment, goods and technology which could contribute to Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs.”
