Tensions surged in the Middle East as the UN nuclear watchdog declared Iran in violation of its nuclear obligations, prompting Tehran to announce countermeasures ahead of critical talks with the U.S.
The UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has formally declared Iran in breach of its nuclear non-proliferation commitments for the first time in nearly two decades. In response, Iran announced several countermeasures, including the development of a new uranium enrichment facility and an upgrade to advanced centrifuges at the Fordow plant—steps that will significantly boost enriched uranium production.
The developments come just days before the U.S. and Iran are set to hold a sixth round of nuclear negotiations in Oman. Omani officials confirmed that talks will take place Sunday amid heightened security concerns, following U.S. President Donald Trump’s remarks about withdrawing American personnel due to rising regional risks.
An IAEA official said Iran had informed the agency about the new facility but provided no details on its location. Iranian officials reaffirmed their commitment to enrichment under the Non-Proliferation Treaty, they warned that the military is fully prepared to respond if attacked.
Trump, who originally withdrew the U.S. from the 2015 nuclear deal, has threatened further action if talks stall. He reiterated this stance in a recent interview, expressing doubts that Iran would stop enriching uranium unless U.S. sanctions are lifted.
