The United Nations Security Council will hold a closed-door meeting on Wednesday to address Iran’s growing stockpile of highly enriched uranium, following concerns raised by Western diplomats, sources said on Monday.
The meeting was requested by six countries—France, Greece, Panama, South Korea, Britain, and the U.S.—who also urged Iran to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on unresolved concerns about undeclared nuclear material found at multiple sites.
Iran has denied seeking nuclear weapons, but the IAEA has warned that Tehran is now enriching uranium to 60% purity, dangerously close to 90% weapons-grade levels. Western nations argue there is no civilian justification for such enrichment.
The 2015 nuclear deal (JCPOA) lifted sanctions on Iran in exchange for restrictions on its nuclear program, but the U.S. withdrew in 2018 under Donald Trump, prompting Iran to breach its commitments.
With the UN resolution on the deal set to expire on October 18, Britain, France, and Germany have warned they may trigger a snapback of international sanctions to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. Trump has directed his UN envoy to push for renewed sanctions and restrictions on Tehran.
