Urgency: Watch · Evidence: Corroborated reporting
Reuters and the Associated Press reported that the United States, Britain, France and Germany had prepared a draft IAEA Board resolution seeking to report Iran to the UN Security Council over its nuclear nonproliferation obligations. The text remained under negotiation and had not been formally submitted to the board by verification time.
What the sources establish
Reuters first reported the lobbying effort and draft through unnamed diplomats. AP independently reported that it had reviewed the draft text and quoted its proposed transmittal clause, corroborating the existence and substance of the draft as well as its unsubmitted, still-negotiated status. Neither the IAEA board nor the four sponsoring governments had publicly submitted or adopted the resolution by verification time, so the record does not imply formal board action or passage. The displayed event time remains Reuters' original publication time.
