The United States has circulated a draft resolution at the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Board of Governors demanding that Iran hand over detailed information about its nuclear sites and enriched uranium stockpiles. The move comes as the IAEA continues to struggle with verifying where Iran’s nuclear material ended up after strikes on Iranian facilities in 2025.
Washington chose not to push for a referral to the UN Security Council, a step that would have significantly escalated the standoff. Instead, the draft keeps the confrontation within the IAEA’s diplomatic framework.
What the resolution actually asks for
The draft, circulated between June 5 and 7, calls on Iran to provide precise accounting of its nuclear materials and grant access to its safeguarded facilities. The language describes these requests as “urgent and essential.”
At the center of the demand is a specific concern: the status of nuclear sites that were hit during strikes and the enriched uranium associated with those locations. US officials under the Trump administration flagged approximately 440.9 kg of uranium enriched up to 60% as a significant point of concern. Uranium enriched to 60% is a short technical hop from the 90% threshold needed for weapons-grade material.
