- The United States, Britain, France and Germany are urging other members of the IAEA board to support a resolution referring Iran to the U.N. Security Council.
- Diplomats said the proposed resolution would mark the first such referral in 20 years and follow a previous finding that Iran breached its non-proliferation obligations.
- The draft has not been formally submitted, and negotiations over its wording remain under way.
The United States and its allies Britain, France and Germany are pressing other members of the U.N. nuclear watchdog's board to support a resolution referring Iran to the U.N. Security Council, diplomats said on Friday.
If approved next week, the resolution would be the first such referral in 20 years. It would follow a resolution adopted on June 12 last year that declared Iran in breach of its non-proliferation obligations for failing to fully cooperate with an investigation into uranium traces found at undeclared sites.
The proposed text has not yet been formally submitted to the board. Diplomats said countries were still negotiating the exact wording, with formal submission usually taking place early in the week of a board meeting.
