The UN Atomic Surveillance Board has first declared in two decades that Iran is breaking its non -proliferation obligations as US and European powers increase the pressure on Tehran on its nuclear activities.
In a resolution written by the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Germany, the Board of Governors of International Atomic Energy censored Iran, saying that Tehran had not cooperated with the control agency on “verifying” the occasions and the IPS ability of a peaceful nature “or its program.
Thursday’s censorship will further increase tensions between the West and Tehran amid fears of a possible military confrontation between the United States, Israel and the Islamic Republic.
Iran condemned the resolution of the Junta del Oiea, saying that it was “political motivated.”
Iran also revealed that he had built a new enrichment installation, the third in the country, and notified Oiea today that the centifiños would soon be installed there. Meanwhile, additional advanced centrifuges are installed to settle in an existing underground enrichment site, which probably further infesses tensions.
The United States said Wednesday that he had authorized the voluntary withdrawal of the American dependents of the US bases in the region. President Donald Trump said the staff was “being moved because it could be a dangerous place.”
The United States and Iran have been participating in indirect conversations to resolve the nuclear crisis, and the sixth round will be held in Muscat on Sunday. But Tehran refuses to accept an American demand to stop enriching uranium nationwide, insisting that it is a red line, while accusing Washington or sends mixed signals.
Trump has repeatedly said, hey, to ensure an agreement to prevent them from developing nuclear weapons, but also warned that he would like military action if diplomacy fails.
He said that this week he was “less safe” or a nuclear agreement with Iran after Iranian officials criticized an American proposal for an interim agreement.
Israel has pressed for strikes against Iran, believing that the Islamic Republic is in its most full form in decades and has the opportunity to attack. Last month, Trump warned Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who does not hit Iran while Washington negotiates with Tehran by a nuclear agreement.
The two leaders discussed Iran’s conversations in a telephone conversation on Monday.
Iran has warned that this would go to the US bases in the region if attacked. Major General Hossein Salami, the commander of the powerful revolutionary guards of Iran, said in Thorsday that his forces were ready for all scenarios.
“We have experience in war, we are experienced, we have the power to build, we have a strategy, we have identified the objectives,” he said.
The resolution of the IEA Board is mainly related to a long -term investigation carried out by the control of non -nuclear materials found in three sites in the Republic and its so -called “safeguards” bbligations. It reflects the growing frustration between the Western powers on the lack of cooperation of Iran with the guard dog and the expansion of its program.
The resolution said that Iran had “could not provide the cooperation required by virtue of its safeguard agreement, preventing agency verification activities, disinfection locations and not repeatedly providing the agency or antic or presence for face -to -face for witnesses not declared in locations.”
He asked Iran to “urgently remedy their breach of their safeguard agreement taking all the measures that the agency and the Board consider necessary.”
The growing tensions underline the feeling of urgency so that Iran and the United States reach an agreement to avoid the risk of military action that could trigger another war in the Middle East.
Iran has been constantly expanding its nuclear activity since Trump in 2018 abandoned the Accord Tehran signed with the Obama administration and other world powers.
Althegh The resolution of the OIEA in Thorsday is not directly linked to that 2015 agreement, they will suspect that it is being used to lay the foundations for the United Kingdom, France and Germany to refer Iran to the UN.
The three European powers for the 2015 Agreement have threats to trigger a so -called Snapback process in the UN before an October deadline, which would reiminate international sanctions against Iran, if there is no diplomatic solution to the crisis.
Tehran warned that it would leave the non -proliferation treaty if the mechanism is activated.
Iran insists that its nuclear program is for peaceful civil use. But bets increased by increasing its highly enriched uranium arsenal by 50 percent during the three months until May, the OIEA said in a report to the members of its Board last month.
As of May 17, Iran possessed 408.6 kg or enriched uranium to 60 percent purity, which is close to the degree of weapons, and has the ability to develop sufficient fissil material required for nuclear weapons in less than two weeks.
While condemning Iran, the members of the Iiaea Board also supported a diplomatic solution that includes the United Iranian conversations.
“Censorship is not surprising, justified and strongly written,” said Sanam Vakil, director of Middle East in Chatham House. “But it also encourages diplomacy at a critical moment.”
