Overview
- The 35‑nation board approved the resolution 19–3 with 12 abstentions, with Russia, China and Niger opposed.
- The measure requires immediate reporting on Iran’s enriched‑uranium inventories and on the condition of nuclear facilities hit in June.
- Iran’s foreign minister labeled the move irresponsible, saying it will harm cooperation and undermine the agency’s independence.
- Tehran formally notified Director General Rafael Grossi that the September Cairo memorandum on cooperation no longer applies.
- Inspectors have not accessed Natanz, Isfahan or Fordow since the summer attacks, and Iran says it will not retrieve uranium from the rubble without a new understanding with the IAEA.
