Britain tried to prevent Nobel Laureate for Peace, El Baradei from getting a third term in charge of the UN's nuclear inspectorate.
El Baradei is the man leading the international campaign to stop Iran's nuclear weapons program.
Though El Baradei was elected unopposed with overwhelming international support in the absence of any credible rivals, classified documents reveal that Blair's government refused to commit itself to supporting his bid for another term at the helm of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
A source at the Department of Trade and Industry said that the government was following the Americans in the belief that El Baradie was not being tough enough on the Iranians.
