IAEA board refers Iran to UN Security Council over nuclear ‘non-compliance’
Middle East4 sources4 countries2m ago
The 35-nation board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has passed a resolution reporting Iran to the United Nations Security Council for nuclear non-compliance. Diplomats confirmed that the decision marks the first time in 20 years that Iran has been reported to the UN Security Council for breaching its non-proliferation obligations, following a previous resolution passed on June 12.
The symbolic escalation was initiated by the United States, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. In response, Tehran has strongly condemned the resolution, placing blame on recent United States and Israeli strikes on its nuclear facilities for disrupting IAEA inspections.
