This admission comes as Tehran continues to restrict access for nuclear monitors, a condition that has heightened international concern about the scope and intent of Iran’s nuclear activities. U.S. and European governments are now moving to refer Iran’s case to the UN Security Council, a step outlined in a draft resolution by UN nuclear agency members.
Bloomberg notes Washington plans to tighten diplomatic pressure, while Euronews reports Iran is actively blocking inspectors and that threats in the Hormuz corridor are rising. The next phase hinges on whether the Security Council adopts the referral, a development that could trigger the retaliation Iran warned the IAEA about.
