A senior Russian diplomat has warned the IAEA’s Board of Governors against adopting a resolution against Iran, saying it would undermine prospects for restoration of the JCPOA.

Iran's nuclear chief says the recordings from IAEA monitoring equipment at the country’s nuclear sites will be deleted if the US does not lift its unilateral sanctions against the Islamic Republic in the next three months.

Iran’s ambassador to the UN says the United States must make the first move to revive a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and major world powers.

The majority of Iranian lawmakers hail the move by the country’s nuclear body to restart 20% uranium enrichment.

A senior Iranian nuclear official says the AEOI will implement the technical requirements of a law approved by the parliament to counter unilateral US sanctions.

The AEOI has already been tasked with producing and restoring at least 120 kilograms of enriched uranium with a 20-percent purity level every year.

Ali Akbar Salehi made the remarks while inaugurating a project for the construction of a facility to produce stable isotopes using gas centrifuges.

The AEOI says no explosion has hit the Shahid Rezaeinejad nuclear complex in the city of Ardakan in central Iran.

Iran say an incident has caused damage to an industrial shed under construction at the Natanz nuclear facility in the central part of the country, but the main site remains unharmed.

Iran says its nuclear progress will not be hindered by recent US sanctions against two of its nuclear scientists.
