  "account": "The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has voted to refer Iran to the UN Security Council due to the country's lack of nuclear transparency. This decision comes after Iran barred inspectors from its key nuclear facilities following a conflict between Israel and Iran in June 2025. The IAEA has expressed grave concern over Iran's non-compliance with its nuclear reporting obligations. The resolution, introduced by Britain, France, Germany, and the US, now requests the IAEA's director general to report Iran to the Security Council and General Assembly. Russia, China, and Niger voted against the resolution, highlighting their ability to veto any potential sanctions against Tehran. Iran dismissed the resolution as counterproductive, stating it would not yield any results and was driven by political pressure from the US and its allies. The IAEA emphasizes the importance of addressing Iran's lack of access and information as a proliferation concern.",
  "summary": "The International Atomic Energy Agency has not had access to key nuclear facilities in Iran and made the referral over 'non-compliance'.",
