Overview
- The IAEA Board adopted a resolution urging Iran to promptly provide detailed information on nuclear material and facilities and to accept necessary inspections.
- The measure was sponsored by the United States, United Kingdom, France and Germany, with 19 votes in favor, 12 abstentions, and opposition from China, Russia and Niger.
- Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said Tehran will halt its recently resumed limited cooperation and notified Director General Rafael Grossi that the September inspection arrangement is void.
- Inspections since June have not covered facilities struck in attacks, and access has been limited to some sites that were not targeted, leaving key questions unresolved.
- Iran, joined by China and Russia in a joint statement, condemned the resolution as undermining dialogue and cooperation.
