VIENNA (AP)--Diplomats say that China has given the U.N. nuclear watchdog intelligence linked to Tehran's alleged attempts to make nuclear arms.
The development is surprising because Beijing, along with Moscow, has opposed U.S.-led attempts to impose harsh penalties on Tehran over its nuclear defiance of the U.N. Security Council.
The diplomats spoke to The Associated Press earlier this week and Wednesday. They asked for anonymity because their information is confidential.
