The International Atomic Energy Agency acted in the face of Iran’s refusal to allow experts to examine its stepped-up nuclear enrichment program.

The UN's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has passed a resolution calling on Iran to urgently cooperate and reverse its decision to bar some of its inspectors. There are concerns Iran is trying to develop a nuclear weapon, an accusation Tehran denies.

The U.N. nuclear watchdog's board on Wednesday censured Iran for failing to cooperate fully with the agency, diplomats said, calling on Tehran to provide answers in a long-running investigation and reverse its decision to bar several experienced U.

The United Nations atomic agency formally rebuked Iran over advances in its nuclear program and failure to cooperate with the body, a measure that Tehran has threatened to retaliate against. The rebuke—the first formal censure resolution of Iran by the agency’s board of member states since November 2022—was led by European governments.

The United Nations’ atomic watchdog is preparing to pass a resolution of censure against Iran, deepening a diplomatic rift over the Islamic Republic’s contested nuclear program.

A veteran Israeli politician, Avigdor Liberman, warns that Tehran is planning a ‘holocaust’ of Jews in their state.
