Iran criticized the UN nuclear watchdog's board for a statement being prepared by Western countries during their week-long meeting.
The International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) questions regarding Iran’s nuclear program is one of the main outstanding issues preventing the revival of the Iranian nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Some observers anticipated that the IAEA would issue a resolution condemning Iran’s lack of cooperation on key questions regarding its nuclear activities. During this meeting, the United States, Britain, France and Germany have prepared a joint statement and are hoping to have other countries sign on to it.
