US EditionIran threatens nuclear escalation after UN watchdog board finds it in breach of obligations
IRAN, JUN 13 – The International Atomic Energy Agency reported Iran’s non-compliance due to undeclared nuclear sites and announced plans to expand uranium enrichment, increasing tensions and risk of sanctions.
- On June 12, during its quarterly session, the IAEA Board of Governors adopted a resolution formally finding Iran in breach of its nuclear commitments.
- This resolution followed Iran's repeated failures since 2019 to fully and timely cooperate regarding undeclared nuclear material at multiple locations, escalating verification concerns.
- Iran promptly denounced the resolution and declared its intention to set up a new enrichment facility in a secure area while upgrading the centrifuges at the Fordow site to the more advanced IR-6 models.
- The IAEA's 35-member board approved the US-supported resolution with 19 votes in favor, 3 opposed, and 11 abstentions. The resolution highlighted the Agency's concerns that it cannot confirm Iran's nuclear program is solely peaceful, prompting issues to be raised at the UN Security Council.
- The resolution could trigger renewed UN sanctions and intensify regional tensions amid ongoing US-Iran diplomatic talks scheduled for June 15 in Oman, with future outcomes remaining uncertain.
