  "account": "The United States and its allies Britain, France, and Germany are urging other members of the UN nuclear watchdog’s board to vote for a resolution next week that would report Iran to the UN Security Council for the first time in two decades, according to diplomats. Should the resolution be approved, it would follow up on one adopted on June 12 of last year, which declared Iran in violation of its non-proliferation obligations for failing to cooperate fully with an investigation into uranium traces discovered at undeclared sites. Just a day after the UN resolution, Israel launched airstrikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities, with the United States soon joining in, causing significant damage to Iran’s uranium enrichment plants. However, Iran has not allowed IAEA inspectors to return to the bombed sites or verify what remains of its enriched uranium stockpiles, some of which reached up to 60% purity, close to weapons-grade levels. The IAEA’s board, comprised of 35 nations, has already passed two resolutions demanding Iran disclose its enriched uranium stocks and grant the IAEA unrestricted access to verify them. A draft of the resolution has not yet been formally submitted to the board and ongoing negotiations are taking place over the precise wording. As a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), Iran is entitled to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, but it denies ever producing nuclear weapons. Nonetheless, Iran remains the only country to have enriched uranium to 60% without producing a bomb, a fact that the IAEA considers deeply troubling. The IAEA estimates that more than 200 kg of highly enriched uranium remains, hidden in tunnel complexes at Isfahan and Natanz.",
