Joint statement from the E3 and US:

We, the Governments of France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States, welcome the IAEA Board of Governors鈥� adoption of a resolution on Iran. This resolution was adopted in response to Iran鈥檚 insufficient cooperation with the IAEA on serious and outstanding issues relating to Iran鈥檚 legal obligations under its Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Safeguards Agreement.

This is the second resolution adopted by the IAEA Board of Governors on these matters this year. In doing so, the Board has sent a clear message that it is essential and urgent that Iran fulfils its NPT-required safeguards obligations and take the actions specified without delay.

Iran must provide technically credible explanations for the presence of uranium particles identified at three undeclared locations in Iran and clarify the whereabouts of the related nuclear material and/or contaminated equipment.

The resolution reaffirms the Board鈥檚 unwavering support for the IAEA鈥檚 longstanding efforts with Iran to resolve these critical matters.

As we have made clear, if Iran does this and the Director General is able to report that the unresolved safeguards issues are no longer outstanding, the Board could then close its consideration of this matter.

We hope Iran takes this opportunity to cooperate with the IAEA in good faith toward closing these outstanding matters so that no further Board action on these issues will be necessary.
