Western Powers Submit Resolution Against Iran at the IAEA
Germany, France, Britain, and the United States present a resolution condemning Iran's noncompliance with nuclear commitments.
Germany, France, Britain, and the United States have submitted a resolution to the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) condemning Iran for failing to adhere to its nuclear commitments.
Diplomatic sources indicated that the text was presented on Tuesday amid ongoing discussions between Tehran and Washington aimed at reaching an agreement regarding Iran's nuclear program.
A vote on the resolution is anticipated during a session of the board at the IAEA's headquarters in Vienna scheduled for Wednesday evening.
U.S. President Donald Trump remarked on Tuesday that Iran has become 'more hardline' in nuclear negotiations.
This statement came shortly before a new round of indirect talks between the U.S. and Iran is set to take place in Muscat, Oman, on Sunday.
Trump previously stated that these negotiations would occur on Thursday.
However, both an Iranian official and a U.S. official indicated to a news agency that it is unlikely that the talks would proceed on that day.
Late on Monday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baqaei confirmed that the next round of nuclear discussions is planned for Sunday in Muscat, noting that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi would travel to Norway on Wednesday and Thursday.
In related developments, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that any 'reckless and destructive' decision by the IAEA against Iran would face an appropriate response.
He emphasized Tehran's commitment to enriching uranium within its territory.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry stated that Araghchi conveyed to his Japanese counterpart, Takeshi Iwaya, Tehran's determination to defend its 'legitimate interests and established rights' to fully utilize peaceful nuclear energy, including uranium enrichment.
Araghchi characterized the actions of the European powers (France, Germany, and Britain) and their ally, the United States, to advance a resolution against Iran in the IAEA in the context of nuclear talks as 'provocative and misguided.'
Recently, Tehran and Washington have engaged in five rounds of negotiations with mediation from Oman.
Iran has indicated that it would present a proposal to the United States through Oman in response to what it deemed an 'unacceptable' American proposal.
