Development follows warnings of the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (Aiea) Earlier this week, inspectors were unable to determine whether the Iranian nuclear program was “exclusively peaceful” – in the words of the 2015 nuclear deal From which the United States retired later.
A new series of negotiations between Washington and Tehran should start Oman on Saturday, according to reports, in the midst of increased geopolitical tensions linked to rumors of an imminent Israeli attack against Iran.
After the vote on Thursday’s resolution by the Council of Governors of the IAEA – which was adopted by a vote of 19 for, three against and 11 abstentions – the body of Iranian atomic energy would have announced its intention to open a new factory of enrichment of uranium and to increase the production of enriched fissile materials.
Growing concerns
Thursday’s resolution draft highlights serious and growing concerns since at least 2019 that Iran had not fully cooperated with the United Nations inspectors.
Tehran has not been “repeatedly” unable to explain and demonstrate that his nuclear equipment was not diverted for additional enrichment for military use, according to the draft text.
Iran has also not provided the United Nations Agency for “technically credible explanations for the presence of [man-made] Uranium particles ”in unornowgency locations in Varamin, Marivan and Turquzabad, continues.
“Unfortunately, Iran has not responded several times or has not provided technically credible answers, the agency’s questions,” said the head of the IAEA on Monday. “He also sought to disinfect locations, which hampered agencies’ verification activities.”
According to Mr. Grossi, Tehran stored 400 kilograms of highly enriched uranium.
“” Given the potential proliferation implications, the agency cannot ignore [this]“He said on Monday to the board of directors of the United Nations Agency.
