PARIS, June 9 — The US, Britain, France and Germany on Wednesday urged Iran “to fulfil its legal obligations, and cooperate with the IAEA”, after the International Atomic Energy Agency adopted a resolution formally criticising Tehran.
“The overwhelming majority vote at the IAEA Board of Governors today sends an unambiguous message to Iran that it must meet its safeguards obligations and provide technically credible clarifications on outstanding safeguards issues,” the statement added. In a separate statement, regional rival Saudi Arabia also said it welcomed the IAEA decision, “which stresses that Iran must comply with its obligations... and the need for its cooperation with the agency to resolve all outstanding nuclear issues”.
