VIENNA, June 10 (Reuters) – The U.N. nuclear watchdog’s 35-nation Board ⁠of ⁠Governors passed a U.S.-backed resolution on Wednesday ⁠telling Iran to declare its remaining enriched uranium stocks and let inspectors verify them, which could ​complicate Washington’s talks with Tehran. The move came within hours of the U.S. and Iran trading military strikes after U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran ‌had downed a U.S. Apache helicopter near ‌the Strait of Hormuz. Israeli and U.S. attacks last June destroyed or badly damaged Iranian uranium-enrichment plants but much of the enriched uranium ⁠they produced, including ⁠material close to weapons grade, is thought to have survived.  IRAN SAYS BOARD ‘WHITEWASHING’ US ATTACKS Iran ​still has not informed the International Atomic Energy Agency of the fate of that material, or let IAEA inspectors return to the bombed sites to check. The U.S. led the push for the resolution, but Iran has called it “whitewashing military aggression,” since inspectors had access before the strikes.

VIENNA, March 2 (Reuters) – The U.N. nuclear watchdog has no ⁠indication ⁠Israeli and U.S. attacks on Iran ⁠have hit any nuclear facilities, its chief Rafael Grossi said on Monday, despite Iran’s ​envoy stating one was targeted a day earlier. Iran’s nuclear programme has been among the reasons Israel and the U.S. have given for ‌the attacks, alleging Iran was getting ‌too close to being able to eventually make an atom bomb.
