The IAEA-International Atomic Energy Agency's board of directors has adopted a resolution condemning Iran's response on issues that have been pointed out that Iran has not adequately explained the nuclear material found in multiple locations in the country.

In response, the Iranian side argued that it would "take necessary measures," and the future of discussions to rebuild the nuclear agreement is expected to become even more uncertain.

At the IAEA, headquartered in Vienna, Austria, a board meeting began on the 6th to discuss the issue of finding nuclear material in multiple undeclared locations in Iran.



After the IAEA pointed out in a report last month that "there is no reliable explanation from Iran" on this issue, the four countries of the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Germany are on the Iranian side. I submitted a resolution condemning the response.



The vote was taken on the 8th, and although Russia and China opposed it, it was passed by a majority.



According to the Iranian media, Iran's IAEA ambassador "condemned this decision and we will take necessary steps in the future. We have the right to reconsider our relationship with the IAEA," suggesting some retaliation.



Talks between the United States and Iran to rebuild the nuclear agreement have fallen into a stalemate, but it is inevitable that the Iranian side will intensify its opposition following the adoption of the resolution, and the future of the talks will become even more uncertain. It seems that.

Putin understands Iran's position

Russian President Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with Iran's President Laisi on the 8th, prior to the adoption of a resolution condemning Iran by the IAEA Board of Directors.



According to the Iranian presidential office, Putin said, "I don't think Western actions will help improve the situation. Russia is against their actions." It means that he showed an understanding of Iran's position.



President Putin also expressed his desire to deepen cooperation with Iran in fields such as finance and energy, and has made it clear that the two countries, which are both in conflict with Europe and the United States and are subject to economic sanctions, will strengthen their relationship.

Surveillance cameras at Iran's nuclear facility partially stopped

The Iranian Nuclear Agency announced on the 8th that it has shut down two surveillance cameras installed in the nuclear facility, saying that the response of the Iranian side cooperating with the IAEA inspection and investigation has not been properly evaluated.



Details such as which facility's surveillance cameras were shut down and the impact on the IAEA's activities have not been disclosed.



A spokesman for the Atomic Energy Agency, Kamalbandy, emphasized on state television that "we are considering further measures. They want to cooperate and respond to cooperation and should not take an inappropriate attitude." ..



It seems that Iran also aims to restrain Western countries, which are increasingly criticized, by taking strong measures.
