VIENNA

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors on Thursday approved a draft resolution requesting information and access from Iran regarding its attacked nuclear facilities and enriched uranium stockpiles.

The draft resolution on Iran's nuclear facilities and uranium stockpiles, submitted by the United Kingdom, France, and Germany (the E3) along with the United States, was approved by the IAEA Board of Governors.

The resolution stated that Iran's enriched uranium stockpiles, which have not been subject to IAEA verification for more than five months, continue to be a serious cause for concern.

It emphasized that Iran must fulfill its obligations under United Nations Security Council resolutions, and called on Tehran to grant access to the attacked nuclear facilities and provide information on its enriched uranium stockpiles.

The resolution requested IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi to submit reports to the Board of Governors on the implementation of all relevant provisions of Iran's NPT Safeguards Agreement and the six UNSC resolutions reinstated under the "snapback" mechanism, including information verifying Iran's uranium stockpile.

The resolution also called on Iran to strictly adhere to the provisions of the Additional Protocol it signed on 18 Dec. 18, 2003, and to fully implement this measure without delay.
