IAEA board passes resolution demanding Iran report uranium stocks

The UN nuclear watchdog’s 35-nation Board of Governors passes a US-backed resolution telling Iran to declare its remaining enriched uranium stocks and let inspectors verify them, which could complicate Washington’s talks with Tehran to end the war.
The move came within hours of the US and Iran trading military strikes after US President Donald Trump said Iran had downed a US Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz.
Israeli and US attacks in June of last year destroyed or badly damaged Iranian uranium-enrichment plants but much of the enriched uranium they produced, including material close to weapons-grade, is thought to have survived.
Iran still has not informed the International Atomic Energy Agency of the fate of that material, or let IAEA inspectors return to the bombed sites to check. The US led the push for the resolution, but Iran has called it “whitewashing military aggression” since inspectors had access before the strikes.
The resolution text submitted by the United States, Britain, France and Germany passes with 21 votes in favor, three against and 10 abstentions, diplomats at the closed-door meeting say.
The countries opposing are Russia, China and Niger, they say, adding that Venezuela was not allowed to take part.
