Iran to push IAEA resolution
Iran plans to present a draft resolution at the upcoming General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), declaring attacks on nuclear facilities unacceptable.
Diplomatic sources said the document is being drafted and will be submitted at the forthcoming session. Mikhail Ulyanov, Russia’s ambassador and permanent representative to international organizations in Vienna, confirmed the move in a post on X on Friday.
According to the announced schedule, the IAEA General Conference will be held in Vienna on September 14 for five days. Iran’s nuclear sites came under attack by Israel and the United States in June. The strikes triggered a 12-day war during ongoing diplomatic negotiations between Tehran and Washington over Iran’s nuclear program, effectively halting the talks.
Tehran blames what it calls a biased report by the IAEA Director General—which paved the way for a Board of Governors resolution against Iran just before Israel’s attack—as one of the factors behind the conflict. In response, Iran suspended its cooperation with the Agency. The latest round of talks between Iran and the IAEA over a new cooperation framework took place on Friday but yielded no concrete results.
