The UN's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), holds its quarterly Board of Governors meeting in Vienna. The meeting comes just days after the IAEA's Director-General said that Iran has agreed to reconnect surveillance cameras at several nuclear sites and increase the pace of inspections, a "marked improvement" in talks with the Iranian government.

The quarterly IAEA Board of Governors meeting opens in Vienna amid stalled talks to revive a 2015 nuclear deal, as major European countries and the United States are expected to seek to censure Iran. If the resolution urging Iran to "cooperate fully" with the IAEA is adopted, it will be the first motion censuring Iran since June 2020. IMAGES of the plenary room
During a press conference, the IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi shows the type of that the UN watchdog is using for monitoring Iran's nuclear program. Tehran and the Vienna-based IAEA announced earlier this week that they had reached agreement on replacing the cameras at a facility which makes centrifuges, after they were reportedly damaged in a June attack Tehran blames on Israel. But the IAEA will not be able to examine the camera images until after sanctions are lifted, an Iranian official has said. IMAGES
