The International Atomic Energy Agency has begun its Board of Governors meeting in Vienna, where the talks with Iran are expected to take center stage.

The event is reportedly set to adopt an anti-Iran resolution, drafted by Britain, France, Germany, and the United States, to accuse the Islamic Republic of withholding cooperation with the agency.

The expected adoption of the resolution also comes following a trip by the IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi to the Israeli-occupied territories.

Iran has previously cautioned the IAEA against allowing the Israeli regime—which is leading a constant bid aimed at incriminating Iran’s nuclear work—against allowing Tel Aviv to influence the agency’s independent mandate and decision-making.

On Sunday, Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said, “Those who push for anti-Iran resolution at IAEA will be responsible for all the consequences.”

Iran’s foreign ministry has also warned that it would respond proportionately to any “unconstructive move” at the meeting of the UN nuclear watchdog.
