Al-Mayadeen has obtained a copy of the draft of the European resolution against Iran, which the European "Troika" will present at the upcoming meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency's Board of Governors, which will be held from November 19 to 21.

The draft expresses these countries' concerns about a report by IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi, which "concludes that it is important for the Agency to be able to verify Iran's previously declared stockpile of nuclear material as soon as possible to address its concerns and ensure compliance with the NPT safeguards agreement on the possible diversion of declared nuclear material from peaceful uses."

The draft European resolution states that Iran is "obliged to suspend all enrichment and reprocessing activities, including research and development, as well as work on all heavy water-related projects, and to implement amended Article 3.1, in accordance with international resolutions re-established on September 28, 2025 on nuclear non-proliferation."

The draft resolution calls on Iran to "act fully in accordance with the provisions of the Additional Protocol" and laments that "for the past five months, Iran has not provided the IAEA with requested information on the status of its stockpiles of enriched uranium and nuclear facilities under safeguards."

The European draft resolution calls for the following:

1.  The Director General is requested to submit a report on the implementation of the Iran Safeguards Agreement under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the implementation of all relevant Security Council resolutions, including resolutions 1696 (2006), 1737 (2006), 1747 (2007), 1803 (2008), 1835 (2008) and 1929 (2010), before each regular quarterly meeting of the Board of Governors, in accordance with past practice.

2.  The Director General is requested to ensure that the report requested in paragraph 1 of the executive section includes information related to the verification of Iran's uranium stockpiles, including locations, amounts, chemical forms, enrichment levels, and stockpiles of centrifuges and related equipment.

3.  The Director General is requested to submit the reports mentioned in paragraphs 1 and 2 of the executive part of the resolution to the Security Council in accordance with the procedures set by the Agency.

4.  Recalls its conclusion in resolution GOV/2025/38 that Iran is not in compliance with its Safeguards Agreement under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) within the framework of Article 12 (c) of the Statute, and emphasizes in this context that Iran's high-enriched uranium stockpile that remains in Iran and has not been verified by the IAEA for more than five months remains a serious concern and an issue of compliance with Iran's Safeguards Agreement under the NPT.  As detailed in Resolution GOV/2025/65.

5.  It calls on Iran to fully and without delay comply with its legal obligations under the above-mentioned Security Council resolutions and to fully and promptly cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency, including by providing information and access requested by the Agency for this purpose.

6.  Reaffirms Iran's commitment to fully and unconditionally comply with its Safeguards Agreement in the NPT, including by implementing amended clause 3.1, to provide the IAEA without delay with detailed information on Iran's safeguarded nuclear material inventory and nuclear facilities and to grant all necessary access to verify this information.

7.  Urges Iran to fully adhere to the provisions of the Additional Protocol that it signed on December 18, 2003, and to implement this action fully and without delay.

8.  Decides to place the clause "Implementation of the Safeguards Agreement of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and the relevant provisions of the United Nations Security Council Resolutions in the Islamic Republic of Iran" on the agenda of its next regular session and asks the Director General to report to the Council on the implementation of this resolution according to this clause.
