Iranian state media Press TV has reported obtaining a copy of a new draft resolution prepared for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors meeting in June 2026. According to Press TV, the text sharply criticizes Iran's nuclear program while making no reference to US-Israeli attacks on Iranian territory and nuclear-related facilities over the past year.
Draft Resolution Details
The draft resolution, allegedly US-drafted, harshly criticizes Iran's nuclear program, repeats claims of non-compliance, and demands greater access while threatening further escalation, including possible UN Security Council referral. It accuses Iran of failing to comply with its safeguards obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) framework and calls for greater cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog.
Concerns Over Undeclared Material
The document expresses concern over what it describes as Iran's continued failure to provide the agency with requested information and access related to undeclared nuclear material and activities. It also notes that the IAEA has been unable to verify certain previously declared nuclear material, including highly enriched uranium, for an extended period.
The draft recalls a June 2025 Board of Governors resolution that found Iran in non-compliance with its safeguards obligations and urges Tehran to provide comprehensive information on its nuclear material inventory and grant inspectors the access required for verification activities.
Alleged Double Standards
Press TV alleged that the draft resolution does not mention what it described as two series of US-Israeli strikes on Iranian territory and nuclear-related sites during the past year. The outlet argued that the omission reflected a double standard and accused the agency's member states of ignoring actions taken against Iran while increasing pressure on Tehran over its nuclear activities.
IAEA Board of Governors Meeting
According to the draft, the Board of Governors would reaffirm support for the IAEA Director General and Secretariat, call on Iran to fulfill its legal obligations under its safeguards agreement, and state that further action, including possible consideration by the UN Security Council, remains an option if concerns are not addressed. The IAEA Board of Governors is taking place from June 8 to June 12 in Vienna.
Iran has consistently maintained that its nuclear program is exclusively peaceful and conducted within its rights under the NPT. Tehran has repeatedly rejected allegations that it is pursuing nuclear weapons and has criticized what it describes as politically motivated pressure from Western countries.
