- The IAEA Board of Governors is voting this week on a resolution to declare Iran non-compliant with its safeguards, a move Tehran warns will trigger reduced cooperation.
- Iran is targeting June 15 in Muscat for the next indirect negotiations, but US officials indicate talks could reconvene as soon as June 12.
