Quad Joint Statement on IAEA Board of Governors Adoption of Resolution on Iran
November 23, 2024
The Governments of Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States are gravely concerned by Iran’s continued failure to fully cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) regarding its nuclear program.
In particular, we note with deep concern the IAEA Board of Governors’ adoption of a resolution on Iran on November 23, 2024. This resolution expresses the Board’s serious concern about Iran’s lack of cooperation with the IAEA and urges Iran to fully implement all of its obligations under its safeguards agreement with the IAEA, including providing access to all relevant sites and documents.
The resolution also calls on Iran to clarify outstanding issues related to the possible military dimensions of its nuclear program and to cooperate fully with the IAEA’s investigation into these matters.
We fully support the IAEA’s efforts to ensure the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program and call on Iran to fully cooperate with the Agency. We urge Iran to take immediate steps to address the concerns raised by the IAEA and to demonstrate its commitment to the peaceful use of nuclear energy.
We also reiterate our commitment to working together to address the threats posed by Iran’s nuclear program and to ensure that Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons.
Background:
In recent months, the IAEA has repeatedly raised concerns about Iran’s nuclear program, including:
- Iran’s failure to fully declare all of its nuclear facilities and activities
- Iran’s lack of cooperation with the IAEA’s investigation into the possible military dimensions of its nuclear program
- Iran’s enrichment of uranium to levels beyond what is needed for peaceful purposes
These concerns have led to the adoption of a resolution by the IAEA Board of Governors urging Iran to fully cooperate with the IAEA.
Quad Cooperation:
The Quad is a group of four countries—Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States—that share a common interest in promoting peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. The Quad is committed to working together to address a range of challenges, including the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear program.
