Yes. In early September 2026, the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Board of Governors passed a resolution referring Iran to the United Nations Security Council for “non-compliance” with its Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty safeguards obligations — the first such IAEA referral in about 20 years.
The resolution, tabled by the United Kingdom, France, Germany and the United States, was backed by 23 countries, with eight abstentions; China, Russia and Niger voted against. It cites gaps in information on Iran’s nuclear material, including highly enriched uranium stocks, and a lack of inspector access to facilities. New Security Council sanctions are nonetheless unlikely because China and Russia hold vetoes.
