Western countries have formally submitted a new resolution critical of Iran at the International Atomic Energy Agency ahead of its board meeting, diplomatic sources say.
“The text was formally submitted” just before midnight on Tuesday, a diplomatic source tells AFP on condition of anonymity, with a second diplomatic source confirming the information.
The UK, France and Germany, backed by the US, are seeking to censure Iran for what they say is Tehran’s lack of cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog, as it attempts to monitor the Islamic Republic’s expanding nuclear enrichment program.
Earlier Iran’s foreign minister warned the powers against submitting the new resolution, saying such a move “will only complicate the matter further.” According to an IAEA report leaked Tuesday, Iranian officials also offered to cap the country’s stockpile of near-weapons grade uranium if the measure was shelved.
