Overview

  • The draft, submitted Tuesday in Vienna, orders Iran to provide precise nuclear material accountancy and grant all access required for verification.
  • It follows an IAEA report stating inspectors remain barred from sites hit in June and that accounting for safeguarded uranium enriched up to 60% is overdue.
  • The text presses Iran to implement the Additional Protocol, expanding inspection powers central to the 2015 nuclear deal that Tehran never ratified.
  • Western diplomats describe the measure as technical, instructing new IAEA reporting after a prior 10‑year mandate lapsed.
  • Iran’s mission warned adoption would harm cooperation and signaled retaliation, while diplomats say passage could come as early as Wednesday.
