On June 12, during a meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors, a resolution against Iran submitted by the US, the UK, France, and Germany was put to a vote. The resolution was adopted with 19 countries voting in favor, 11 abstaining, and 3 countries (Russia, China, and Burkina Faso) voting against. The resolution cited Iran's repeated failure since 2019 to fully and promptly cooperate with the agency regarding undeclared nuclear materials and activities at several undeclared sites.

The IAEA's latest report stated that as of May 17, 2024, Iran had 408.6 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent, an increase of 133.8 kilograms compared to the February report. The agency noted that enrichment at this level is a short technical step away from 90 percent enrichment, considered weapons-grade, and called on Iran for full and effective cooperation.
