Overview
- The IAEA Board passed a resolution 19–3 with 12 abstentions, sponsored by the U.S., France, the UK, and Germany, requiring precise accounting of near–weapons‑grade uranium and access to sites including Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan.
- Iran labeled the measure illegal and unjustified, delivered a letter to Director General Rafael Grossi ending the September Cairo understanding, and said cooperation will not extend to facilities hit in June.
- UN inspectors have had no access to the damaged complexes since the summer attacks, and the agency’s continuity of knowledge remains compromised.
- Tehran warned of unspecified reprisals, with further uranium enrichment cited by Iranian officials as a possible response in comments reported by the Associated Press.
- Russia condemned the resolution as destroying diplomacy, underscoring divisions on the IAEA Board over how to handle the standoff.
