A resolution put forward by Western countries to censure Iran’s nuclear program at the International Atomic Energy Agency “will weaken and disrupt” interactions between the UN body and Tehran, it warns ahead of the vote.
Paris, Berlin, London and Washington have formally submitted a text condemning Iran for alleged lack of cooperation with the agency and its nuclear observers.
A formal vote is scheduled for today at the UN nuclear watchdog’s board of governors meeting at its Vienna headquarters.
The submission of the resolution comes a week after a visit to Iran by the head of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi.
