The UN nuclear watchdog’s 35-nation Board of Governors passes a U.S.-backed resolution at its meeting in Vienna requiring Iran to declare its remaining enriched uranium stocks and allow International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors to verify them. The resolution, submitted by the United States, Britain, France and Germany, is adopted through a vote carried out during a closed-door session, according to diplomats. It is approved by 21 votes in favour, with 3 votes against and 10 abstentions. The reports say the countries opposing the resolution are Russia, China and Niger, while Venezuela is not allowed to participate. The move is described as potentially complicating efforts by Washington to negotiate with Tehran, as the resolution adds specific verification and reporting demands tied to Iran’s uranium enrichment activities. The sources agree on the resolution’s core requirements—declaration of remaining enriched uranium stocks and inspector access—and on the voting breakdown and the countries involved in the opposition and participation.
