The United States, along with Britain, France, and Germany, is reportedly pushing for a new resolution at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) board meeting scheduled for next week. According to diplomatic sources and draft text reviewed by Reuters, the proposal aims to formally report Iran to the UN Security Council. If successful, this would mark the first time in two decades that the board has taken such a step against Tehran.

The push for this resolution is linked to a previous finding from June 12 of last year, in which the IAEA board declared Iran in breach of its non-proliferation obligations. The core of the dispute involves Iran's lack of full cooperation regarding an investigation into unexplained uranium traces discovered at sites that were not previously declared to international inspectors.

While the Western powers view this as a necessary escalation to enforce nuclear transparency, the move signals a significant hardening of the international stance toward Iran's nuclear program. The resolution serves as a follow-up to the 2023 declaration, aiming to escalate the matter from the IAEA's technical oversight to the political arena of the UN Security Council. As of now, the Iranian government has not issued a formal response to the reported draft, and the diplomatic maneuvering remains ongoing ahead of the board's assembly.
