Nuclear watchdog refers Iran to UN Security Council over 'non-compliance'

The International Atomic Energy Agency board referred Iran to the UN Security Council for the first time in 20 years. The move follows Iran's failure to cooperate with investigations into uranium traces discovered at undeclared sites. A resolution backed by Germany, France, the UK, and the US passed with 23 votes in favor, though Russia, China, and Niger opposed the measure. This diplomatic escalation coincides with heightened military tensions and US efforts to increase pressure on Tehran at the United Nations.
