IAEA Refers Iran to Security Council | Global News

Iran’s nuclear program has hit a major diplomatic snag as the IAEA officially referred the country to the U.N. Security Council for failing to cooperate with inspections into uranium traces at undeclared sites — a first in two decades. Western powers suspect these traces may hint at past weapons development, while Iran insists its program is peaceful. Though sanctions loom, Russia and China’s veto power make enforcement unlikely. The resolution passed 23-3 on the IAEA board, with Iran calling it a politically motivated attack on the agency’s credibility. Tensions are rising amid ongoing military clashes between Iran and the U.S./Israel, which Iran says makes inspections impossible — even as it continues enriching uranium dangerously close to weapons-grade.
