Iran warns Western powers against ‘strategic mistake’ of submitting resolution at IAEA that finds Tehran in non-compliance
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran warns European powers against backing a draft resolution at the International Atomic Energy Agency next week that finds Iran in non-compliance, calling it a “strategic mistake.”
“Instead of engaging in good faith, the E3 is opting for malign action against Iran at the IAEA Board of Governors,” Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says on X, referring to Britain, France and Germany. “Mark my words as Europe ponders another major strategic mistake: Iran will react strongly against any violation of its rights.”
The resolution finding Iran in non-compliance with its so-called safeguards obligations will be the first tabled by Western nations in 20 years.
It comes at a sensitive time as US President Donald Trump’s administration seeks to reach a deal with Tehran to limit its nuclear program. The two sides have held several rounds of talks, so far without agreement.
