US and European Powers Table IAEA Resolution Demanding Iran Grant Inspectors Access

Diplomats expect swift adoption, reflecting the agency’s inability to verify Iran’s highly enriched uranium stock.

Overview

  • France, Britain, Germany and the United States submitted a draft to the 35-nation board calling for immediate access to the struck facilities and precise nuclear material accountancy.
  • The text presses Iran to implement the Additional Protocol, expanding snap-inspection powers at undeclared locations.
  • An IAEA report to member states says inspectors remain barred from Fordow and Natanz after the June strikes and that verification of uranium enriched up to 60% is long overdue.
  • The draft also requests detailed reporting on the location of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile and its centrifuge inventory.
  • Tehran warned adoption would damage cooperation and has already voided a September inspection arrangement, while diplomats say the measure is likely to pass as early as Wednesday.
