US, E3 submit draft resolution to IAEA board criticizing Iran

A draft resolution is submitted to the UN nuclear watchdog, criticizing Iran for not fully answering IAEA questions on uranium traces at undeclared sites.

A draft resolution was submitted to the IAEA board by the US, Britain, Germany, and France, criticizing Iran for what they claim were incomplete answers given to the IAEA on uranium traces at "undeclared sites."

Little change was made from a draft circulated last week, according to Reuters. The submission of the text means it will be debated and voted on at the quarterly meeting of the IAEA's 35-nation board of governors, which is set to take place this week.

Some diplomats have said that this resolution will pass easily, despite Iran's warning that such a move undermines the Vienna Talks to revive the nuclear deal.

The draft resolution "expresses profound concern that the safeguards issues related to these three undeclared locations remain outstanding due to insufficient substantive cooperation by Iran, despite numerous interactions with the agency."

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian tweeted on Sunday, warning against pushing for an anti-Iran resolution at the IAEA board. 

Exchanged views w/ @JosepBorrellF abt Vienna talks on removing sanctions & how to proceed.

Those who push for anti-Iran resolution at IAEA will be responsible for all the consequences.

We welcome a good, strong & lasting agreement. It's within reach if US/E3 are realistic.

The chairman of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Vahid Jalalzadeh said on Tuesday that Grossi's visit to "Israel" ahead of the IAEA board meeting "proved for the umpteenth time that [the IAEA] has become a political organization rather than a technical one."

"Unfortunately, before the release of the IAEA report, Mr. Grossi announced his position against Iran in the European Parliament, meaning that before the report was officially published in the European Parliament, they were informed by Mr. Grossi, and this showed that they do not look for the truth."
