IAEA Presses Iran Framework as Tehran Submits Attack‑Ban Resolution and U.S. Demands Enrichment Shutdown

A late‑September snapback deadline leaves only a brief window to revive inspections.

Overview

  • IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi urged swift implementation of last week's Cairo cooperation framework to restore confidence and restart verification work in Iran.
  • Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said the Cairo arrangements match its approval but warned implementation will stop if any hostile action occurs, including a UN sanctions snapback.
  • Tehran says inspectors currently have no access beyond the Bushehr plant and that visits to bombed sites require SNSC safety clearance and agreed modalities with the agency.
  • Britain, France and Germany have launched a one‑month process to reimpose UN sanctions that they may pause only if Iran resumes full inspections, accounts for its stock of enriched uranium and engages in talks with the United States.
  • At the IAEA General Conference, Iran and five countries submitted a draft resolution to prohibit attacks on safeguarded nuclear facilities as the United States called for Iran’s enrichment program to be completely dismantled and the agency highlighted concern over 440.9 kg of 60% material that remains unverified since June.
