IAEA board passes resolution demanding Iran report uranium stocks
The resolution passed 21-3 and says inspectors still cannot verify 440.9 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% purity, the IAEA said.
- On Wednesday, the International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors passed a resolution demanding Iran declare its remaining enriched uranium stockpiles and grant inspector access, with 21 votes in favor.
- Tensions escalated following military strikes between the US and Iran after President Donald Trump claimed Iran downed an Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz, compounding damage from last year's joint US and Israeli bombing campaign.
- IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi warned the missing material could theoretically yield 10 nuclear bombs, as Iran has blocked inspector access to 440.9 kg of uranium enriched to 60 per cent purity since the strikes.
- Denouncing the vote, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi called the resolution "whitewashing military aggression," while Iran's mission to the IAEA warned the board to be "cautious on the path forward."
- President Trump stated the US is going to attack Iran "very hard" if no peace deal is finalized, adding that Iran "is all talk and no action" while continuing covert oil extraction operations.
