Overview

• The IAEA Board of Governors approved a resolution by 19 votes to 3, with 11 abstentions, finding Iran non-compliant with its safeguards agreement.
• The resolution cites Tehran’s failures since 2019 to provide technically credible explanations for uranium traces at undeclared sites and to grant full access to inspectors.
• Iran’s Foreign Ministry and the Atomic Energy Organization announced plans to build a new uranium enrichment facility “in a secure location” and to upgrade centrifuges at Fordow to sixth-generation models.
• Western powers warn the ruling could lead to the restoration of UN sanctions on Tehran if it does not resume full cooperation.
• Oman’s foreign minister said the U.S. and Iran will hold a sixth round of nuclear negotiations on Sunday in an effort to resolve outstanding concerns.
