The International Atomic Energy Agency censured Iran for not fully cooperating with monitoring and inspection as required by the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, potentially leading to sanctions.
Iran's foreign minister lobbied board members in an effort to oppose the censure resolution, which was spearheaded by Britain, France, Germany, and the U.S., but was ultimately approved.
Iran's deputy promised a firm response to the censure, warning they might accelerate uranium enrichment to near bomb-grade levels if the resolution passed.
The I.A.E.A. aimed to reinforce its credibility by addressing Iran's secretive nuclear program and consistent lack of transparency to ensure nuclear safety and nonproliferation.
