US EditionIran threatens nuclear escalation after UN watchdog board finds it in breach of obligations
- On June 12, during a meeting in Vienna, the IAEA's Board of Governors adopted a resolution officially finding Iran in breach of its nuclear commitments.
- This resolution was issued in response to Iran's repeated inability since 2019 to fully and promptly cooperate with the IAEA about nuclear materials and activities that had not been declared at several locations within the country.
- Iran immediately condemned the resolution and announced plans to establish a new uranium enrichment facility using advanced centrifuges in a secure location.

- This development heightens tensions, may trigger a reinstatement of UN sanctions, complicates upcoming US-Iran talks planned for June 15, and raises concerns at the UN Security Council.
