PARIS/VIENNA, June 7 (Reuters) - The United States is pressing other members of the International Atomic Energy Agency's board of governors to back a draft resolution that would force Iran to inform the agency about the fate of its bombed nuclear sites and the enriched uranium that was stored there.

The draft US resolution threatens to further complicate ongoing talks between the United States and Iran, as Tehran is angered by resolutions passed against it at the International Atomic Energy Agency. Reuters reviewed the text on Sunday, which was circulated ahead of this week's quarterly meeting of the agency's 35-nation Board of Governors.

Although previous resolutions by the IAEA Board against Iran passed with a comfortable majority, this text could face greater resistance because the United States, along with Israel, bombed Iran’s nuclear sites last June, and since then the agency has been unable to return to those sites.

The text stated that Iran must "provide the Agency with accurate information on its safeguards accounts of nuclear material and nuclear facilities ... and grant the Agency all the authority it needs to verify this information." It emphasized that both must be done "without delay" and that they are "essential and urgent."

However, the text did not call for referring Iran to the UN Security Council, although some diplomats indicated that this option was under consideration and would have complemented a resolution adopted by the Council on June 12, 2025, in which it declared that Iran had violated its non-proliferation obligations.

Israel began bombing Iranian nuclear sites on June 13.

The United States mission to the International Atomic Energy Agency declined to comment on its efforts to secure a resolution this time.
