The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors adopted a resolution on June 10, 2026, calling on Iran to provide detailed information about its enriched uranium stockpiles and grant inspectors the access needed to verify those materials.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 35-member board approved the resolution with 21 votes in favor, three against, and 10 abstentions. According to diplomats, Russia, China, and Niger voted against the measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resolution urges Iran to provide the IAEA with \u201ccomplete information on nuclear material inventories and design information for facilities\u201d and to allow the agency immediate access required to verify that information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The board expressed \u201cgrave concern\u201d over findings by IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, who reported that the agency has been unable for nearly a year to verify previously declared stocks of highly enriched uranium (HEU) and low-enriched uranium (LEU) in Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also stated that it \u201cdeeply regrets Iran\u2019s continued failure to remedy its non-compliance over the past 12 months,\u201d including its failure to provide the requested information and access needed for verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resolution recalled a June 2025 decision by the board that found Iran had failed since 2019 to provide full and timely cooperation regarding undeclared nuclear material and activities at multiple undeclared locations.<\/p>\n\n\n

Concerns Over Missing Uranium Stocks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vote comes after Israeli and U.S. military strikes last year damaged or destroyed Iranian uranium enrichment facilities. While those attacks affected key nuclear sites, much of the enriched uranium produced before the strikes is believed to have survived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IAEA has said Iran has not informed the agency about the status or location of that material and has not allowed inspectors to return to the affected sites to verify its condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the military strikes, the agency estimated that Iran possessed approximately 440.9 kilograms of uranium enriched to up to 60% purity, a level that is technically close to weapons-grade material, although Iran maintains its nuclear program is intended for peaceful purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Iran Criticizes Resolution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iran strongly criticized the resolution, arguing that it overlooks the impact of the military attacks on its nuclear facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said the strikes by Israel and the United States halted verification activities and forced IAEA inspectors to leave the country for safety reasons. He accused Washington of attempting to use the consequences of those attacks against Iran.

Today, Board of Governor adopted with a shaky vote, another political resolution on Iran\u2019s peaceful nuclear activities; devoid of professionalism expected from a technical body.
