Western Powers Push for UN Declaration on Iran's Nuclear Breach
Western powers are urging the U.N. nuclear watchdog to declare Iran in violation of its non-proliferation commitments. This move could further strain Iran-U.S. nuclear talks. The International Atomic Energy Agency's upcoming report may reveal Iran's non-compliance, prompting the U.S. to propose a resolution against Iran.
Diplomatic tensions are set to rise as Western powers prepare to pressure the U.N. nuclear watchdog to officially declare Iran in breach of its non-proliferation commitments, a first in nearly two decades, according to sources.
This anticipated move follows ongoing talks between the United States and Iran over Tehran's accelerated nuclear program, with Washington collaborating with European allies to draft resolutions urging Iran to clarify the presence of uranium at unapproved locations, as per the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The IAEA, which will soon release a comprehensive report on Iran's compliance, is under pressure from these Western powers. If the reported findings confirm Iran's violations, the U.S. could swiftly propose a formal resolution, raising questions on subsequent actions the UN Security Council may take. Meanwhile, Iran continues to escalate its uranium enrichment endeavors, drawing global scrutiny.
