“The United States and the E3 intend to introduce a resolution against Iran at next week’s IAEA Board meeting. This action is a big mistake next to the so-called snapback and another deliberate attempt to politicize the Board,” the Iranian government mission in Vienna wrote to X.
“These confrontational tactics are misguided and bring no benefits to Iran. If adopted, this resolution will inevitably have a negative impact on the positive course of cooperation between Iran and the IAEA.”
France, Britain and Germany are preparing a new resolution against Iran to be submitted to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) board next week, sources told local Iranian media.
The IAEA Board of Directors will hold its regular November meeting starting Wednesday at IAEA Headquarters in Vienna.
A correspondent for Vienna-based Tehran-based Press TV confirmed on Friday, citing diplomatic sources, that a new anti-Iranian resolution is expected to be tabled at E3. The move follows IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi’s November 12 report on Iran’s nuclear program, which focused on estimates of its uranium stockpile.
However, he noted that the draft resolution has not yet been submitted to the IAEA and is currently being discussed in the capitals of three European countries.
He added that it is still unclear whether the United States will co-sponsor the resolution.
