Iran condemns the adoption of the resolution, presented by the United States, Great Britain, France and Germany during the Board of Governors of the IAEA, which is a political action, not constructive and incorrect
said a statement from Iran's Foreign Ministry on Thursday.
This criticism of Iran - the first since June 2020 - was approved on Wednesday by 30 members of the IAEA's board of governors, with only Russia and China voting against.
The resolution came after the Vienna-based IAEA raised concerns over traces of enriched uranium previously found at three sites that Tehran had not declared to have hosted nuclear activities.
