European powers and the United States submitted a resolution to the UN’s nuclear watchdog board on Tuesday condemning Iran’s “non-compliance” with its nuclear obligations, in a bid to up pressure on Tehran, diplomats told AFP.
“The text has been submitted,” three diplomatic sources told AFP on Tuesday night.
Paris, Berlin, London and Washington formally tabled the resolution at this week’s board meeting of the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which is expected to come to a vote on Wednesday evening at the earliest.
The draft resolution obtained by AFP calls on Iran “to urgently remedy its non-compliance” with its commitments under the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
