A Pakistan court on Tuesday allowed women to take part in a march but cautioned that they should adhere to "decency and moral values".

It is called the "Aurat March" "Aurat" meaning women. The women have been calling others to join them on Women's Day on March 8 to raise their voice against rape and violence faced by women.

At the centre of the legal battle is the claim that the march is "unIslamic". A petition filed by the chairman of the judicial activism council Azhar Siddique claimed that there are anti-state parties funding the march with the sole purpose of spreading anarchy.

The Lahore district authorities have been instructed to speed things up and take a swift decision on an application seeking permission to hold the march while saying that the marchers should “refrain from hate speech and immorality”.

In a written response, the police had said that the march will be provided foolproof security and the government has promised to protect the participants.

According to reports, the local police told the court they would provide security but it was essential for organisers to prohibit participants from engaging in "controversial acts" while telling the court the event faced a threat from radical groups including Pakistani Taliban militants.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in a report said <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/pompeo-slams-iran-intimidation-of-iaea-inspector-as-outrageous-260911">Iran's</a> enriched uranium stockpile is more than five times the limit fixed under the 2015 nuclear deal.

The atomic agency said as of February 19, Iran's uranium stockpile stood at&nbsp;1,510 kilogrammes, as compared to 300 kg limit set under the 2015 agreement by world powers.

The UN watchdog said it was denied entry to at least two sites in January by Iranian authorities.

The agency in its report said it had "identified a number of questions related to possible undeclared nuclear material and nuclear-related activities."

In November last year, the UN nuclear watchdog had urged Iran to explain the presence of uranium particles at an undeclared site.

Iran had rejected IAEA's report of traces of uranium found in unnamed sites.

Iran has openly breached several parts of the deal it signed with the US as well as Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia, in which it committed to scaling back its nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief.

The IAEA had earlier flagged Iran's stock of heavy water for reactors had crossed the 130-tonne limit.
