"The IAEA Director General reports that at this critical juncture Iran has started to further increase its rate of production of high-enriched uranium without any credible civilian justification. The agency’s Director-General has stated several times that Iran is the only state without nuclear weapons to enrich uranium up to 60%.
Iran’s stockpile of High Enriched Uranium has also reached unprecedented levels, again without any credible civilian justification. It gives Iran the capability to rapidly produce sufficient fissile material for multiple nuclear weapons.
Iran has ramped up its installation of advanced centrifuges, which is yet another damaging step in Iran’s efforts to undermine the nuclear deal that they claim to support. Meanwhile, Iran threatens to leave the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and officials publicly question Iran’s ‘nuclear doctrine’.
Iran’s lack of cooperation with the IAEA over many years also undermines global non-proliferation. It prevents the Agency from carrying out vital work to assess the Iranian nuclear programme. Iran’s agreements with the IAEA and its legal obligations must be pursued in full, without further delay, as repeatedly requested by the Director General and the Board of Governors.
Iran must change course, de-escalate, and choose diplomacy.
The E3 have always sought a diplomatic solution to ensure Iran will never develop a nuclear weapon. We recognise the urgency of the situation, given the state of play and the nearing expiry of this resolution. We call on Iran to cease and reverse its nuclear escalation to pave the way towards a diplomatic solution."
