China and Russia, joined the US, UK, France and Germany, in expressing concern at the stalled UN nuclear agency investigation into Iran's facilities on Wednesday, reports Reuters.
In a joint statement, the six powers said:
"We are deeply concerned that Iran continues to undertake certain nuclear activities contrary to UN Security Council and IAEA board resolutions"
According to Reuters, Western states had intended a stronger statement, however envoys said this was not possible if Moscow and Beijing were to come on board. Both have previously made clear that they believe Western sanctions against Tehran are counterproductive.
