The International Atomic Energy Agency's Board of Governors passed a resolution demanding that Iran report its stockpile of enriched uranium and allow monitoring.
The resolution, backed by the United States, comes amid mutual military strikes between the United States and Iran and concern over Iranian progress toward a nuclear weapon. Tehran sees it as "whitewashing military aggression" and refuses to cooperate.
The International Atomic Energy Agency's Board of Governors (IAEA) today, Wednesday, passed a resolution demanding that Iran report its stockpile of enriched uranium and allow inspectors to verify the data. The resolution, submitted by the United States, Britain, France and Germany, passed with 21 votes in favor, three against, Russia, China and Niger, and 10 abstentions.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said that "the attacks by the Israeli regime and America on Iran's nuclear facilities stopped verification activities and forced the Agency's inspectors to leave Iran for safety reasons." Gharibabadi added that "America is now trying to turn the results of its illegal attack into a case against the Islamic Republic of Iran."
Iran warned the council to be "careful going forward," since it tends to respond to decisions against it by escalating its nuclear activities or reducing cooperation with the IAEA.

As recalled, despite the strikes in "Raising the Lion," much of the enriched uranium produced, including material close to weapons-grade, apparently survived. Iran has not yet informed the IAEA about the fate of the material, and has not allowed inspectors to return to the bombed sites.
Tehran called the decision "whitewashing military aggression," since inspectors had access before the strikes.
One of Donald Trump's main goals is the removal of Iran's enriched uranium, especially 440.9 kg enriched to 60 percent purity. According to IAEA estimates, this amount is very close to the 90 percent required for a nuclear weapon, and would be enough for ten nuclear weapons if enriched further.
