  "summary": "The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has referred Iran to the UN Security Council over its nuclear program non-compliance. This move aims to increase diplomatic pressure on Tehran. According to the Jerusalem Post, the IAEA's 35-nation board of governors passed a resolution reporting Iran to the UN Security Council for breaching its non-proliferation obligations.\n\nThis is the first time in 20 years that Iran has been reported to the UN Security Council. The resolution follows a previous one passed on June 12 last year, which found Iran in non-compliance with its obligations. The Jerusalem Post reports that the move is an escalation in a diplomatic standoff between Iran and Western powers.\n\nIran has reacted to the resolution, with its mission to the IAEA stating on X/Twitter that a political resolution on Iran was non-consensually adopted by the IAEA Board of Governors. The Punch and Punch Nigeria reported that the IAEA referred Iran to the UN Security Council over its nuclear program non-compliance.",
