Iran warns UK, France and Germany against pushing IAEA censure

Iran has warned European powers against going ahead with plans to submit a resolution to the UN nuclear watchdog censuring Tehran for its lack of cooperation with inspectors, the country’s Foreign Ministry says.

During talks with French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot, top Iranian diplomat Abbas Araghchi said the resolution would “complicate matters” and contradict the “positive atmosphere created between Iran and the IAEA,” the Iranian foreign ministry says.

The Foreign Ministry also announces that it has summoned the British ambassador for a reprimand over the UK’s decision to sanction Iran over weapons sales to Russia.

Araghchi claims court documents showing British arms sales to Israel reveal London’s “double standard.”
