NEWSAR · AI

Iran has been referred to the UN Security Council for nuclear non-compliance. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi stated that strikes on Iran's safeguarded nuclear facilities by the US and Israel disrupted the normal process of verification, which Iran then used as a pretext for the resolution. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has reportedly not had access to Iran's nuclear facilities since strikes in June 2025 and again in a conflict launched on February 28th. Iran claims these attacks are the reason for restricting IAEA inspector access and seeks this access as part of a broader settlement to end the war. The article notes that Iran maintains its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, while the US, Israel, and some European countries question this, concerned about potential nuclear weapon development.

"They attack Iran's safeguarded nuclear facilities, disrupt the normal process of verification, and then use that very disruption as a pretext to issue a resolution," Iranian deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi wrote in a post on X. The IAEA has not had access to Iran's nuclear facilities since Israel and the US carried out a number of strikes on those sites during a 12-day conflict in June 2025. The sites were targeted again in the latest war, launched by Israel and the US on 28 February.Iran says the attacks on its facilities, including uranium enrichment plants in Natanz and Fordo, are the reason it does not let IAEA inspectors visit these sites.Tehran also wants such access to be part of a wider settlement with the US and Israel to end the war.Iran has repeatedly stated that its nuclear programme is solely for peaceful purposes. The US, Israel and a number of European countries have questioned this claim, amid concerns that Tehran is trying to build a nuclear weapon.At the start of the latest US-Israel war against Iran, Tehran had roughly 440kg (970lb) of 60% enriched uranium, according to senior US officials.
