Pressure Mounts on Tehran as Trump Administration Pushes Iran at U.N. and at Sea
Washington is set to increase diplomatic pressure on Tehran within days with a proposed U.N. resolution demanding that Iran “urgently remedy its non-compliance” and restore access for nuclear inspections.
According to a two-page draft, the U.S. is also looking to refer Iran to the U.N. Security Council over its moves to block International Atomic Energy Agency monitoring.
The resolution, backed by European members of the IAEA board, also highlights its support for a “diplomatic solution” and encourages “all parties to constructively engage in diplomacy.”
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi confirmed that inspectors are locked out of Iran’s nuclear sites, saying the agency has neither “received information from Iran regarding the status of its declared nuclear material or facilities nor had access to any of those facilities to conduct in-field verification activities.”
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said Monday that its forces had redirected nearly 100 ships as they continue to enforce the U.S. blockade against Iran.
CENTCOM also shared an image on X of an EA-18G aircraft launching from the flight deck of the USS George H.W. Bush during “night flight operations” in the Arabian Sea.
