What to know about inspections of Iran's nuclear program by the IAEA ahead of a key board vote
VIENNA — Iran's nuclear program remains a top focus for inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency, particularly as any possible deal between Tehran and the United States over the program would likely rely on the agency long known as the United Nations' nuclear watchdog.
This week, Western nations will push for a measure at the IAEA's Board of Governors censuring Iran over its noncompliance with inspectors, pushing the matter before the U.N. Security Council. Barring any deal with Washington, Iran then could face what's known as 'snapback' — the reimposition of all U.N. sanctions on it originally lifted by Tehran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, if one of its Western parties declares the Islamic Republic is out of compliance with it.

Israel is deporting 6 more activists detained on Gaza aid boat, rights group says
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel is deporting six more activists who were detained when it seized an aid boat bound for the war-ravaged Gaza Strip, according to the rights group representing them. The six include Rima Hassan, a French member of the European parliament who Israel had previously barred from entering Israel and the Palestinian territories, citing her support for boycotts of the country. They were among 12 passengers, including climate campaigner Greta Thunberg, aboard the Madleen, a boat that sought to break Israel's blockade of Gaza and deliver a symbolic amount of aid. Israel seized the vessel early Monday and deported Thunberg and three others the following day. The last two activists are expected to be deported on Friday, according to Adalah, a local human rights group representing them. It said the activists were subjected to 'mistreatment, punitive measures, and aggressive treatment, and two volunteers were held for some period of time in solitary confinement.' Israeli authorities declined to comment on their treatment. Israel says it treats detainees in a lawful manner and investigates any allegations of abuse. Israel portrayed the voyage as a media spectacle, dubbing it the 'selfie yacht.' It says the blockade, which it has imposed in various forms along with Egypt since Hamas seized power in 2007, is needed to prevent the militant group from importing arms. Critics view it as collective punishment of Gaza's roughly 2 million Palestinians. The Israeli Foreign Ministry said those activists who signed deportation documents would be deported immediately while those who refused would be brought before a judicial authority to authorize their deportation in keeping with Israeli law. The activists have protested that they had no intention of entering Israel and were brought there against their will. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which organized the journey, said it was aimed at protesting Israel's blockade of Gaza and ongoing military campaign there, which experts say has pushed the territory to the brink of famine more than 20 months into the Israel-Hamas war. ___ Follow AP's war coverage at

Iran defies IAEA resolution by announcing new enrichment plant
In a swift response to a International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) resolution accusing Iran of non-compliance with nuclear obligations, Tehran on Thursday announced plans to construct a new uranium enrichment facility "at a secure location." The Iranian Students' News Agency (ISNA) said that a third enrichment plant would be set up, citing the Iranian Foreign Ministry. The announcement comes amid growing concern in the West and in Israel over Iran's nuclear activities. While Tehran maintains that its programme is purely peaceful, it continues to enrich uranium to levels approaching weapons-grade. Earlier on Thursday the IAEA noted in a resolution that Tehran was failing to meet its commitments to the IAEA and warned that it was considering referring the matter to the UN Security Council. Iran slammed the resolution, saying it was based on groundless and politically motivated allegations instead of technical aspects. Iran would not allow these unjustified allegations to pass without response and would take the relevant measures, Tehran said in a statement. Iran had previously warned that it could exit the international Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), an international agreement designed to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.

IAEA rebukes Iran over 'non-compliance' with nuclear obligations
The International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) executive committee adopted a resolution on Thursday in Vienna stating that Tehran has failed to meet its obligations to fully disclose its nuclear activities. The board found that Iran's failings "constitutes non-compliance with its obligations" and indicated that it was considering sending the matter to the UN Security Council. This step, initiated by the United States, France, Germany and the United Kingdom will increase pressure on Tehran, as international tensions over its nuclear programme rise. There are increasing concerns that Israel could launch a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, and the US has recalled non-essential diplomatic staff in Iraq. The IAEA resolution was passed after Tehran refused for years to declare its past nuclear activities. IAEA inspectors had found traces of uranium and other suspicious evidence in locations away from the acknowledged facilities. The intergovernmental organization views the Iranian response to its queries as not credible. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi stated recently that he could not guarantee that Iran's nuclear programme served exclusively peaceful ends. The board said this raised questions relevant to the UN Security Council. The 35 member states on the IAEA board have given Tehran additional time to reconsider its stance, without setting a deadline for a potential referral to the UN Security Council. Negotiations between the United States and Iran over new restrictions to Tehran's nuclear programme resumed in April. A sixth round of talks is expected to be held on Sunday in Oman's capital Muscat. Oman is mediating the negotiations.
