IAEA warns over Iran nuclear access as Western powers push UN referral

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has expressed concerns over its inability to verify Iran's nuclear activities due to restricted access to key facilities, nearly a year after US and Israeli strikes damaged them. IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi warned that this lack of information poses a proliferation risk and urged Iran to cooperate fully. France, Germany, the UK, and the US are pushing the IAEA to report Iran's situation to the UN Security Council, seeking to revive a process last used over two decades ago. The proposed resolution would require Iran to provide access and information to inspectors, but Iran rejects the move, blaming Western actions for the current impasse. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei accused the West of using the IAEA as a fallback option after failed diplomatic efforts and warned of potential countermeasures if the resolution proceeds.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a balanced account of both Western concerns and Iranian rebuttals, without overtly favoring either side. While it highlights the tensions between Iran and Western nations, it does not frame the narrative in a clearly left or right-leaning manner. The emphasis is on factual state
