The United States has blamed Iran for the failure to reach a settlement on a formula to revive the nuclear deal, saying that Iran's demands to lift sanctions prevent progress.
For its part, the European Union said that Iran, while negotiating a return to full implementation of the nuclear deal, had taken a series of measures inconsistent with the JCPOA.
The European Union expressed its concern that Iran continues to enrich uranium well beyond the thresholds of the nuclear agreement in terms of the amount and level of enrichment.
He also called on Tehran not to initiate any other work related to uranium enrichment, and not to resume work in the production of uranium metal.
The Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency is discussing a Western draft resolution calling on Iran to expedite the disclosure of its ambiguous activities and to cooperate fully with the agency.
The United States, Germany, France and Britain submitted a draft resolution to the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency regarding the outstanding questions about Iran's nuclear program.
The draft resolution urges Iran to fully cooperate with the agency, and is the first of its kind since a similar measure was adopted against Tehran in June 2020, and is also an indication of the impatience of Western powers due to the stalemate in talks aimed at reviving the 2015 nuclear agreement.
Iranian threat
The draft resolution calls on Iran to take urgent and immediate measures to fulfill its legal obligations and to accept the offer of the Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Mariano Grossi, to resolve the outstanding problems.
This comes at a time when Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has threatened Iran to pay a heavy price if it continues what he described as its defiant policy regarding its nuclear file.
On the other hand, the commander of the ground forces in the Iranian army, Major General Kiomars Haidari, said that the Iranian forces "will flatten Haifa and Tel Aviv if any mistake is made by the enemy," as he put it.
And a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency revealed that Iran had doubled its stockpile of enriched uranium 18 times what is allowed under the nuclear deal.
The agency said that Iran's reserves of enriched uranium exceeded 3,800 kilograms, while the nuclear agreement allows it only an amount not exceeding about 203 kilograms.
According to the IAEA, Iran possesses more than 238 kilograms of uranium enriched to 20%.
As for what raises the concerns of the International Agency and the Western countries behind it, it is that Iran possesses 43 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60%, which brings it close to producing a nuclear bomb.
If this amount is enriched to 90%, Iran will be ready to make an atomic bomb in about 10 days, as only 42 kilograms of uranium enriched to 90% is sufficient to produce this nuclear bomb.
