The Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has approved a resolution reporting Iran to the United Nations Security Council for breaching its non-proliferation obligations. The move marks an escalation in the ongoing diplomatic standoff between Iran and Western nations. At least 23 countries voted in favour of the resolution, but Russia, China and Niger opposed it. IAEA seeks ‘urgent’ verification access Iran is forbidden from producing nuclear weapons. Iran has 400kg of highly enriched uranium, with which 10 nuclear weapons could potentially be manufactured if enriched further.
