Quad Pressures Iran on NPT Safeguards at IAEA Board Meeting

Quad Nations Urge Iran to Uphold Nuclear Safeguards

The United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the United States (the Quad) have once again called on Iran to fully comply with its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Safeguards Agreement. During the November 2025 session of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board, UK Ambassador Corinne Kitsell delivered a strong statement on behalf of the Quad, emphasizing the need for transparency and cooperation from Iran in its nuclear activities.

International Concerns Over Iran’s Nuclear Program

The Quad highlighted ongoing concerns about Iran’s nuclear program and stressed the importance of upholding international agreements. The statement pointed out that Iran must address outstanding questions and allow IAEA inspectors full access as required. The world watches as Iran navigates its commitments—after all, no one wants to play nuclear hide-and-seek, especially when the stakes are this high.

This ongoing diplomatic pressure serves as a reminder that the international community expects accountability and transparency. Will Iran finally step up, or will we see another round of nuclear déjà vu? Only time—and perhaps another IAEA Board meeting—will tell.
