US, UK, France, Germany to Propose Sending Iran Nuclear Case to UN Security Council
Summary
The US, UK, France and Germany are preparing to push Iran’s nuclear case to the UN Security Council over concerns that Tehran is not meeting its nuclear non-proliferation obligations. The IAEA says it has been unable to verify uranium stockpiles and inspect affected sites after attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Key Points
- The US, UK, France and Germany are drafting a proposal to send Iran’s nuclear case from the IAEA to the UN Security Council.
- The proposal is still under negotiation and is expected to be voted on at next week’s IAEA Board meeting in Vienna.
- The IAEA says Iran has not allowed inspectors into affected sites and has not verified uranium stockpiles for more than six months.
- IAEA chief Rafael Grossi warned that Iran’s stockpile could theoretically be enough to produce multiple nuclear bombs if weaponized.
