UN nuclear watchdog board demands urgent Iran cooperation and access to nuclear sites
The resolution follows 12 years of unresolved safeguards concerns and says the IAEA still cannot verify 440.9 kilograms of highly enriched uranium.
- On Wednesday, the International Atomic Energy Agency's 35-member board voted to demand that Iran fully cooperate with inspectors, provide "complete information" on its near weapons-grade uranium stockpile, and grant immediate access to nuclear sites.
- Iran maintains a 440.9-kilogram stockpile of uranium enriched up to 60% purity, yet has failed to provide "technically credible answers" regarding uranium traces detected at undeclared sites since 2019.
- Twenty-One nations approved the resolution, which France, the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United States sponsored, while Russia, China, and Niger opposed the measure and 10 countries abstained.
- Iran's ambassador to the IAEA, Reza Najafi, denounced the resolution on Wednesday, claiming the document "neglects all Iran's cooperation" while arguing that security threats have destroyed operational safeguard foundations.
- The board's resolution leaves open the possibility of referring Iran to the Security Council for further sanctions, stating the agency "will stand ready to take further action" regarding future non-compliance reports.
