Proposed Resolution at U.N. Would Bar Iranians From Nuclear Studies Abroad

Iranian students would be banned from studying nuclear physics and related fields at foreign universities, under a United Nations Security Council resolution proposed by the United States and several European allies, according to today’s New York Times. The article does not report how broad the prohibition would be, other than that it would prevent Iranians from receiving any education or training abroad that could contribute to the country’s programs to develop nuclear and ballistic-missile capabilities.
