The Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has passed a resolution requiring inspections of two nuclear facilities in Iran, Mehr reported.

Russian Permanent Representative to international organizations in Vienna, Ambassador Mikhail Ulyanov tweeted the following: "The #IAEA BG adopted resolution calling upon #Iran to provide access to 2 locations specified by Agency. #Russia and #China voted against. While stressing the need for Tehran and IAEA to settle this problem without delay, we believe that the resolution can be counter productive."

France, the UK, and Germany have submitted a draft resolution to the IAEA Board of Governors, urging Iran to provide access to facilities.

According to the resolution, the council calls on Iran to fully cooperate with the Agency and to satisfy the Agency's requests without further delay, and by providing quick access to the places designated by the IAEA.

In turn, Iran's  FM Mohammad Javad Zarif warned the IAEA that such a resolution would ruin the chances of a possible acceptable solution.

Iran noted that such a resolution is based on anti-Iranian accusations of the Israeli regime and serves US purposes.
