Iran Nuclear File Returns to UN Security Council After Decade
Following the IAEA's historic referral of Iran to the UN Security Council, the body is now actively debating the implications of Tehran's refusal to allow inspections at strike-affected sites. Although Western powers seek to escalate pressure, diplomatic options remain constrained by the anticipated vetoes from Russia and China, while opposition figures continue to link nuclear compliance to broader regime accountability.

While Western nations push for increased pressure, the article notes that any new punitive measures will face significant hurdles due to the veto power held by Russia and China.
