The IAEA Board of Governors approved a resolution calling on Iran to disclose the location of its enriched uranium and grant inspectors access to nuclear sites. The measure passed 21-3 with 10 abstentions; Iran has stated it will take 'reciprocal measures' in response.
The IAEA Board of Governors has adopted a formal resolution demanding that Iran disclose the location of its enriched uranium stockpile and grant inspectors unrestricted access to all nuclear sites. The resolution passed with 21 votes in favor, 3 against, and 10 abstentions, as the batch reports. Tehran responded by stating it will take 'reciprocal measures.' This outcome follows a draft circulated by the United States earlier this week, as The Zioneer reported on June 7. The resolution stops short of referring Iran to the UN Security Council due to opposition from European JCPOA signatories, who argued it was 'not the right time.' Iran's reciprocal measures are not yet specified. The vote marks the latest international pressure on Tehran over its nuclear program amid ongoing military strikes on nuclear infrastructure and parallel diplomatic efforts for a framework deal.
