The Biden Administration is pressuring France and Britain against voting to censure Iran next month at the board meeting of the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), reports the Jewish Press.
The move comes despite the fact that Iran has significantly expanded its stockpile of near-weapons grade fissile material, according to a confidential May 27 report by the IAEA seen by a handful of journalists.
Why does the Biden Democrat regime want the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism to get their bloody claws on nuclear weapons? The US under the Democrats has switched sides, the dark side.
For Joe Biden, a simple censure of Iran is too strong.

Isn’t this a rather odd position for the United States to take? #Iran https://t.co/kJTUcVc5k9

A nuclear-armed Iran is a direct threat to America, and endangers Israel’s very existence.
Why is the Biden Administration telling our allies to take pressure OFF of the Iranian regime’s nuclear program?
Appeasement has not worked, and will NEVER work! https://t.co/7znJnU12c6

US blocking European efforts to introduce IAEA resolution against Iran
The Biden administration is the “difficulty” in moving ahead with the resolution at the quarterly meeting next week, say European officials.
By: JNS, May 28, 2024;
The United States is frustrating European efforts to introduce a resolution against the Iranian regime at the International Atomic Energy Agency, Reuters reported on Friday.
A senior European diplomat told the news agency that Washington is the “difficulty” in moving ahead with the resolution when the 35-nation Board of Governors’ quarterly meeting starts on June 3 in Vienna. The diplomat added that “in our conversations we continue to do everything to convince them.”
The last Iran-centered resolution, passed 18 months ago, called on Tehran to cooperate with an IAEA investigation involving three of the Islamic Republic’s nuclear sites.
France, Britain and Germany (the E3) are looking to present the new resolution to the IAEA Board of Governors meeting next week after not moving forward at the last IAEA meeting in March after the Biden administration expressed opposition to the move.
Officials often cite the upcoming November U.S. presidential election as the reason for the Biden administration being an obstacle to another resolution. However, the White House has argued that it doesn’t want to give Tehran an excuse to accelerate its nuclear program.
A senior European diplomat told Reuters, “It’s extremely difficult with Iran and the level of violations is unprecedented…There is no slowing down of its program and there is no real goodwill by Iran to cooperate with the IAEA.” The envoy added that “all our indicators are flashing red.”
Another diplomat said a resolution had been drafted, while others confirmed that the E3 had prepared a draft but had not shared it with other board members yet.
The matter is urgent; in late December, the agency said Iran had tripled its enrichment of uranium to 60%, which is just a short technical step away from 90%, or weapons-grade.
