The IAEA Board of Governors delayed a formal finding of non-compliance until September 2005, and reported that non-compliance to the Security Council in February 2006. After the Board of Governors reported Iran's noncompliance with its safeguards agreement to the Security Council, the Council demanded that Iran suspend its enrichment programs. The Council imposed sanctions after Iran refused to do so. A May 2009 US Congressional Report suggested "the United States, and later the Europeans, argued that Iran's deception meant it should forfeit its right to enrich, a position likely to be up for negotiation in talks with Iran."<a href="#cite_note-65">[65]</a> In exchange for suspending its enrichment program, Iran was offered "a long-term comprehensive arrangement which would allow for the development of relations and cooperation with Iran based on mutual respect and the establishment of international confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program."<a href="#cite_note-66">[66]</a> However, Iran has consistently refused to give up its enrichment program, arguing that the program is necessary for its energy security, that such "long term arrangements" are inherently unreliable, and would deprive it of its inalienable right to peaceful nuclear technology.

On 21 October 2003, in Tehran, the Iranian government and EU-3 Foreign Ministers issued a statement known as the Tehran Declaration<a href="#cite_note-96">[96]</a> in which Iran agreed to co-operate with the IAEA, to sign and implement an Additional Protocol as a voluntary, confidence-building measure, and to suspend its enrichment and reprocessing activities during the course of the negotiations. The EU-3 in return explicitly agreed to recognize Iran's nuclear rights and to discuss ways Iran could provide "satisfactory assurances" regarding its nuclear power program, after which Iran would gain easier access to modern technology. Iran signed an Additional Protocol on 18 December 2003, and agreed to act as if the protocol were in force, making the required reports to the IAEA and allowing the required access by IAEA inspectors, pending Iran's ratification of the Additional Protocol. The IAEA reported 10 November 2003,<a href="#cite_note-IAEA-GOV/2003/75-97">[97]</a> that "it is clear that Iran has failed in a number of instances over an extended period of time to meet its obligations under its Safeguards Agreement with respect to the reporting of nuclear material and its processing and use, as well as the declaration of facilities where such material has been processed and stored." Iran was obligated to inform the IAEA of its importation of uranium from China and subsequent use of that material in uranium conversion and enrichment activities. It was also obligated to report experiments with the separation of plutonium. However, the Islamic Republic reneged on its promise to permit the IAEA to carry out their inspections and suspended the Additional Protocol agreement outlined above in October 2005. <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Hastehi.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/3e/Hastehi.JPG/220px-Hastehi.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/3e/Hastehi.JPG/330px-Hastehi.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3e/Hastehi.JPG 2x" data-file-width="387" data-file-height="258" /></a><figcaption>Seen here in this <a href="/wiki/Iranian_Students%27_News_Agency" title="Iranian Students' News Agency">ISNA</a> footage is <a href="/wiki/Gholam_Reza_Aghazadeh" title="Gholam Reza Aghazadeh">Gholam Reza Aghazadeh</a> and <a href="/wiki/Atomic_Energy_Organization_of_Iran" title="Atomic Energy Organization of Iran">AEOI</a> officials with a sample of <a href="/wiki/Yellowcake" title="Yellowcake">yellowcake</a> during a public announcement on 11 April 2006 in <a href="/wiki/Mashhad" title="Mashhad">Mashhad</a> that Iran had managed to successfully complete the fuel cycle by itself.</figcaption></figure> A comprehensive list of Iran's specific "breaches" of its safeguards agreement, which the IAEA described as part of a "pattern of concealment," can be found in a 15 November 2004 report of the IAEA on Iran's nuclear program.<a href="#cite_note-98">[98]</a> Iran attributed its failure to report certain acquisitions and activities to US obstructionism, which reportedly included pressuring the IAEA to cease providing technical assistance to Iran's uranium conversion program in 1983.<a href="#cite_note-googleusercontent2005-61">[61]</a><a href="#cite_note-99">[99]</a> On the question of whether Iran had a hidden nuclear weapons program, the IAEA's November 2003 report states that it found "no evidence" that the previously undeclared activities were related to a nuclear weapons program, but also that it was unable to conclude that Iran's nuclear program was exclusively peaceful. In June 2004, construction began on <a href="/wiki/IR-40" title="IR-40">IR-40</a>, a 40 MW <a href="/wiki/Heavy_water_reactor" class="mw-redirect" title="Heavy water reactor">heavy water reactor</a>.

The measure was said at the time to be a voluntary confidence-building measure, to continue for some reasonable period of time (six months being mentioned as a reference) as negotiations with the EU-3 continued. On 24 November, Iran sought to amend the terms of its agreement with the EU to exclude a handful of the equipment from this deal for research work. This request was dropped four days later.

Iran ceased its implementation of the Additional Protocol in 2006, and also ceased all other cooperation with the IAEA beyond what Iran acknowledged it was required to provide under its safeguards agreement, after the IAEA Board of Governors decided, in February 2006, to report Iran's safeguards non-compliance to the Security Council.<a href="#cite_note-IAEA-GOV/2006/15-116">[116]</a> The Council, invoking <a href="/wiki/Chapter_VII_of_the_United_Nations_Charter" title="Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter">Chapter VII of the UN Charter</a>, then passed Resolution 1737, which obligated Iran to implement the Additional Protocol.

The report stated that the IAEA had "been able to verify the non-diversion of the declared nuclear materials at the enrichment facilities in Iran," and that longstanding issues regarding plutonium experiments and HEU contamination on spent fuel containers were considered "resolved." However, the report added that the Agency remained unable to verify certain aspects relevant to the scope and nature of Iran's nuclear program. The report also outlined a workplan agreed by Iran and the IAEA on 21 August 2007. The workplan reflected agreement on "modalities for resolving the remaining safeguards implementation issues, including the long outstanding issues." According to the plan, these modalities covered all remaining issues regarding Iran's past nuclear program and activities. The IAEA report described the workplan as "a significant step forward," but added "the Agency considers it essential that Iran adheres to the time line defined therein and implements all the necessary safeguards and transparency measures, including the measures provided for in the Additional Protocol."<a href="#cite_note-141">[141]</a> Although the workplan did not include a commitment by Iran to implement the Additional Protocol, IAEA safeguards head <a href="/wiki/Olli_Heinonen" title="Olli Heinonen">Olli Heinonen</a> observed that measures in the workplan "for resolving our outstanding issues go beyond the requirements of the Additional Protocol."<a href="#cite_note-142">[142]</a> According to Reuters, the report was likely to blunt Washington's push for more severe sanctions against Iran.

But have we seen Iran having the nuclear material that can readily be used into a weapon? No. Have we seen an active weaponization program? No." The IHT report went on to say that "ElBaradei said he was worried about the growing rhetoric from the U.S., which he noted focused on Iran's alleged intentions to build a nuclear weapon rather than evidence the country was actively doing so.

The only remaining issues were traces of HEU found at one location, and allegations by US intelligence agencies based on a laptop computer allegedly stolen from Iran which reportedly contained nuclear weapons-related designs. The IAEA report also stated that Tehran continues to produce LEU.

Iran had installed several new centrifuges, including more advanced models, and environmental samples showed the centrifuges "continued to operate as declared", making low-enriched uranium. The report also noted that other elements of Iran's nuclear program continued to be subject to IAEA monitoring and safeguards as well, including the construction of the heavy water facility in Arak, the construction and use of hot cells associated with the Tehran Research Reactor, the uranium conversion efforts, and the Russian nuclear fuel delivered for the Bushehr reactor. The report stated that the IAEA had requested, as a voluntary "transparency measure", to be allowed access to centrifuge manufacturing sites, but that Iran had refused the request. The IAEA report stated that Iran had also submitted replies to questions regarding "possible military dimensions" to its nuclear program, which include "alleged studies" on a so-called <a href="/wiki/Green_Salt_Project" title="Green Salt Project">Green Salt Project</a>, high-explosive testing and missile re-entry vehicles. According to the report, Iran's answers were still under review by the IAEA at the time the report was published. However, as part of its earlier "overall assessment" of the allegations, Iran had responded that the documents making the allegations were forged, not authentic, or referred to conventional applications. The report stated that Iran may have more information on the alleged studies, which "remain a matter of serious concern", but that the IAEA itself had not detected evidence of actual design or manufacture by Iran of nuclear weapons or components. The IAEA also stated that it was not itself in possession of certain documents containing the allegations against Iran, and so was not able to share the documents with Iran. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="September_2008_report">September 2008 report</h4></div> According to 15 September 2008 IAEA report on the implementation of safeguards in Iran,<a href="#cite_note-0908Rep-158">[158]</a> Iran continued to provide the IAEA with access to declared nuclear material and activities, which continued to be operated under safeguards and with no evidence of any diversion of nuclear material for non-peaceful uses. Nevertheless, the report reiterated that the IAEA would not be able to verify the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program unless Iran adopted "transparency measures" which exceeded its safeguards agreement with the IAEA, since the IAEA does not verify the absence of undeclared nuclear activities in any country unless the Additional Protocol is in force. ElBaradei stated that "we have managed to clarify all the remaining outstanding issues, including the most important issue, which is the scope and nature of Iran's enrichment programme" with the exception of a single issue, "and that is the alleged weaponization studies that supposedly Iran has conducted in the past."<a href="#cite_note-159">[159]</a> According to the report, Iran had increased the number of operating centrifuges at its Fuel Enrichment Plant in Isfahan, and continued to enrich uranium. Contrary to some media reports which claimed that Iran had diverted <a href="/wiki/Uranium_hexafluoride" title="Uranium hexafluoride">uranium hexafluoride</a> (UF6) for a renewed nuclear weapons program,<a href="#cite_note-160">[160]</a> the IAEA emphasized that all of the UF6 was under IAEA safeguards. Iran was also asked to clarify information about foreign assistance it may have received in connection with a high explosive charge suitable for an implosion type nuclear device. Iran stated that there had been no such activities in Iran.<a href="#cite_note-0908Rep-158">[158]</a> The IAEA also reported that it had held a series of meetings with Iranian officials to resolve the outstanding issues including the "alleged studies" into nuclear weaponization which were listed in the May 2008 IAEA report. During the course of these meetings, the Iranians filed a series of written responses including a 117-page presentation which confirmed the partial veracity of some of the allegations, but which asserted that the allegations as a whole were based on "forged" documents and "fabricated" data, and that Iran had not actually received the documentation substantiating the allegations. According to the August 2007 "Modalities Agreement" between Iran and the IAEA, Iran had agreed to review and assess the "alleged studies" claims, as good faith gesture, "upon receiving all related documents."<a href="#cite_note-161">[161]</a> While once again expressing "regret" that the IAEA was not able to provide Iran with copies of the documentation concerning the alleged studies, the report also urged Iran to provide the IAEA with "substantive information to support its statements and provide access to relevant documentation and individuals" regarding the alleged studies, as a "matter of transparency".<a href="#cite_note-0908Rep-158">[158]</a> The IAEA submitted a number of proposals to Iran to help resolve the allegations and expressed a willingness to discuss modalities that could enable Iran to demonstrate credibly that the activities referred to in the documentation were not nuclear-related, as Iran asserted, while protecting sensitive information related to its conventional military activities. The report does not indicate whether Iran accepted or rejected these proposals.<a href="#cite_note-0908Rep-158">[158]</a> The report also reiterated that IAEA inspectors had found "no evidence on the actual design or manufacture by Iran of nuclear material components of a nuclear weapon or of certain other key components, such as initiators, or on related nuclear physics studies ... Nor has the Agency detected the actual use of nuclear material in connection with the alleged studies" but insisted that the IAEA would not be able to formally verify the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program unless Iran had agreed to adopt the requested "transparency measures."<a href="#cite_note-0908Rep-158">[158]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="February_2009_report">February 2009 report</h4></div> In a report on 19 February 2009 to the Board of Governors,<a href="#cite_note-GOV20098-162">[162]</a> ElBaradei reported that Iran continued to enrich uranium contrary to the decisions of the Security Council and had produced over a ton of low enriched uranium. Results of environmental samples taken by the IAEA at the FEP and PFEP5 indicated that the plants have been operating at levels declared by Tehran, "within the measurement uncertainties normally associated with enrichment plants of a similar throughput." The IAEA was also able to confirm there was no ongoing reprocessing related activities at Iran's Tehran Research Reactor and Xenon Radioisotope Production Facility. According to the report, Iran also continued to refuse to provide design information or access to verify design information for its IR-40 heavy water research reactor. Iran and the IAEA in February 2003 agreed to modify a provision in the Subsidiary Arrangement to its safeguards agreement (Code 3.1) to require such access.<a href="#cite_note-163">[163]</a> Iran told the IAEA in March 2007 that it "suspended" the implementation of the modified Code 3.1, which had been "accepted in 2003, but not yet ratified by the parliament", and that it would "revert" to the implementation of the 1976 version of Code 3.1.<a href="#cite_note-GOV/2008/22-164">[164]</a> The subsidiary arrangement may only be modified by mutual agreement.<a href="#cite_note-165">[165]</a> Iran says that since the reactor is not in a position to receive nuclear material the IAEA's request for access was not justified, and requested that the IAEA not schedule an inspection to verify design information.<a href="#cite_note-GOV20098-162">[162]</a> The IAEA says its right to verify design information provided to it is a "continuing right, which is not dependent on the stage of construction of, or the presence of nuclear material at, a facility."<a href="#cite_note-GOV/2008/22-164">[164]</a> Regarding the "alleged studies" into nuclear weaponization, the IAEA said that "as a result of the continued lack of cooperation by Iran in connection with the remaining issues which give rise to concerns about possible military dimensions of Iran's nuclear programme, the Agency has not made any substantive progress on these issues" and called on member states which had provided information about the alleged programs to allow the information to be shared with Iran. IAEA said Iran's continued refusal to implement the Additional Protocol was contrary to the request of the Board of Governors and the Security Council and that it was able to continue to verify the non-diversion of declared nuclear material in Iran.<a href="#cite_note-166">[166]</a> Iran said that for the six years the Agency had been considering its case, the IAEA had not found any evidence to prove that Tehran is seeking a nuclear weapon.<a href="#cite_note-TT022309-167">[167]</a> Regarding the IAEA report, several news reports suggested that Iran had failed to properly report the amount of LEU it possessed because Iranian estimates did not match the IAEA inspector's findings, and that Iran now had enough uranium to make a nuclear bomb.<a href="#cite_note-168">[168]</a><a href="#cite_note-169">[169]</a> The reporting was widely criticized as unjustifiably provocative and hyped.<a href="#cite_note-170">[170]</a><a href="#cite_note-171">[171]</a><a href="#cite_note-172">[172]</a> In response to the controversy, IAEA spokesman Melissa Fleming asserted that the IAEA had no reason at all to believe that the estimates of low-enriched uranium produced by Iran were an intentional error, and that no nuclear material could be removed from the facility for further enrichment to make nuclear weapons without the agency's knowledge since the facility is subject to video surveillance and the nuclear material is kept under seal.<a href="#cite_note-173">[173]</a> Ali Asghar Soltaniyeh, Iran's Ambassador to the IAEA, said the February report failed to "provide any new insight into Iran's nuclear program."<a href="#cite_note-174">[174]</a> He asserted the report was written in a way which clearly causes misunderstanding in public opinion. He suggested the reports should be written to have a section about whether Iran has fulfilled its NPT obligations and a separate section for whether "fulfillment of Additional Protocol or sub-arrangements 1 and 3 are beyond the commitment or not."[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] In a February 2009 press interview, ElBaradei said Iran has low enriched uranium, but "that doesn't mean that they are going tomorrow to have nuclear weapons, because as long as they are under IAEA verification, as long as they are not weaponizing, you know." ElBaradei continued that there is a confidence deficit with Iran, but that the concern should not be hyped and that "many other countries are enriching uranium without the world making any fuss about it."<a href="#cite_note-175">[175]</a> In February 2009 ElBaradei reportedly said that he believed the possibility of a military attack on Iran's nuclear installations had been ruled out.

The report said that since 2010 Iran had produced about 190 kg of 20-per-cent-enriched uranium, up from 145 kg in May. The report also noted that Iran had converted some of the 20-per-cent-enriched uranium to an oxide form and fabricated into fuel for use in research reactors, and that once this conversion and fabrication have taken place, the fuel cannot be readily enriched to weapon-grade purity.<a href="#cite_note-208">[208]</a><a href="#cite_note-209">[209]</a> The report also expressed concerns over <a href="/wiki/Parchin" title="Parchin">Parchin</a>, which the IAEA has sought to inspect for evidence of nuclear weapons development.

These images showed a building at Parchin covered in what appeared to be a pink tarpaulin, as well as demolition of building and removal of earth that the IAEA said would "significantly hamper" its investigation. A senior Western diplomat described the presentation as "pretty compelling." The Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) said that the purpose of the pink tarpaulin could be to hide further "clean-up work" from satellites.

The allegations, which include claims that Iran had engaged in high-explosives testing, sought to manufacture <a href="/wiki/Uranium_tetrafluoride" title="Uranium tetrafluoride">green salt</a> (UF 4), and design a nuclear-capable missile warhead, were based on information obtained from a laptop computer allegedly retrieved from Iran in 2004.<a href="#cite_note-436">[436]</a> The US presented some of the alleged contents of the laptop in 2005 to an audience of international diplomats, though the laptop and the full documents contained in it have yet to be given to the IAEA for independent verification.

Moreover, this chapter in the confrontation with Iran is infused with the memory of the faulty intelligence on Iraq's unconventional arms.

These unresolved issues included the status of Iran's <a href="/wiki/Gchine_uranium_mine" class="mw-redirect" title="Gchine uranium mine">uranium mine at Gchine</a>, allegations of experiments with plutonium and uranium metal, and the use of polonium-210.<a href="#cite_note-438">[438]</a> Specifically regarding the "Alleged Studies", the Modalities agreement asserted that while Iran considers the documents to be fabricated, Iran would nevertheless address the allegations "upon receiving all related documents" as a goodwill gesture. The Modalities Agreement specifically said that aside from the issues identified in the document, there were "no other remaining issues and ambiguities regarding Iran's past nuclear program and activities." The United States was opposed to the Modalities Agreement between Iran and the IAEA, and vehemently objected to it, accusing Iran of "manipulating" IAEA.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] <a href="/wiki/Olli_Heinonen" title="Olli Heinonen">Olli Heinonen</a>, the IAEA Deputy Director General for safeguards, underlined the importance of the Iran-IAEA agreement as a working arrangement on how to resolve the outstanding issues that triggered Security Council resolutions: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">All these measures which you see there for resolving our outstanding issues go beyond the requirements of the Additional Protocol ...

Once the matter is resolved, then the file is closed.<a href="#cite_note-439">[439]</a></blockquote> Following the implementation of the Modalities Agreement, the IAEA issued another report on the status of Iran's nuclear program on 22 February 2008. According to this report, the IAEA had no evidence of a current, undeclared nuclear program in Iran, and all of the remaining issues listed in the Modalities Agreement regarding past undeclared nuclear activities had been resolved, with the exception of the "Alleged Studies" issue. Regarding this report, IAEA director ElBaradei specifically stated: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">[W]e have made quite good progress in clarifying the outstanding issues that had to do with Iran's past nuclear activities, with the exception of one issue, and that is the alleged weaponization studies that supposedly Iran has conducted in the past. We have managed to clarify all the remaining outstanding issues, including the most important issue, which is the scope and nature of Iran's enrichment programme.<a href="#cite_note-440">[440]</a></blockquote> The US had made some of the "Alleged Studies" documentation available to the IAEA just a week prior to the issuance of the IAEA's February 2008 report on Iran's nuclear program. According to the IAEA report itself, the IAEA had "not detected the use of nuclear material in connection with the alleged studies, nor does it have credible information in this regard." Some diplomats reportedly dismissed the new allegations as being "of doubtful value ... relatively insignificant and coming too late."<a href="#cite_note-441">[441]</a> It was reported on 3 March 2008, that Olli Heinonen, the IAEA Deputy Director general of safeguards, had briefed diplomats about the contents of the "Alleged Studies" documents a week earlier. Reportedly, Heinonen added that the IAEA had obtained corroborating information from the intelligence agencies of several countries, that pointed to sophisticated research into some key technologies needed to build and deliver a nuclear bomb.<a href="#cite_note-442">[442]</a> In April 2008, Iran reportedly agreed to address the sole outstanding issue of the "Alleged Studies"<a href="#cite_note-443">[443]</a> However, according to the subsequent May 2008 IAEA report, the IAEA was not able to actually provide these same "Alleged Studies" documents to Iran, because the IAEA did not have the documents itself or was not allowed to share them with Iran. For example, in paragraph 21, the IAEA report states: "Although the Agency had been shown the documents that led it to these conclusions, it was not in possession of the documents and was therefore unfortunately unable to make them available to Iran." Also, in paragraph 16, the IAEA report states: "The Agency received much of this information only in electronic form and was not authorised to provide copies to Iran." The IAEA has requested that it be allowed to share the documents with Iran. Nevertheless, according to the report, Iran may have more information on the alleged studies which "remain a matter of serious concern" but the IAEA itself had not detected evidence of actual design or manufacture by Iran of nuclear weapons or components. Iran's refusal to respond to the IAEA's questions unless it is given access to the original documents has caused a standoff. In February 2008, The New York Times reported that the US refusal to provide access to those documents was a source of friction between the Bush Administration and then Director General ElBaradei.<a href="#cite_note-444">[444]</a> ElBaradei later noted that these documents could not be shared because of the need to protect sources and methods, but noted that this allowed Iran to question their authenticity.<a href="#cite_note-445">[445]</a> According to Iran's envoy to the IAEA, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, "The government of the United States has not handed over original documents to the agency since it does not in fact have any authenticated document and all it has are forged documents."<a href="#cite_note-446">[446]</a> The IAEA has requested that third parties[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Vagueness" title="Wikipedia:Vagueness">vague</a>] allow it to share the documents on the alleged studies with Iran. The IAEA has further stated that though it has not provided full documents containing the alleged studies, information from other countries has corroborated some of the allegations, which appear to the IAEA to be consistent and credible, and that Iran should therefore address the alleged studies even without obtaining the full documents. There have also been questions about the authenticity of the documents, and that investigations into the alleged studies are intended to reveal intelligence about Iran's conventional weapons programs.<a href="#cite_note-447">[447]</a><a href="#cite_note-448">[448]</a><a href="#cite_note-449">[449]</a> Some IAEA officials have requested a clear statement be made by the agency that it could not affirm the documents' authenticity.

According to US officials, such a crude weapon could be built within months but could not be miniaturized to fit on a ballistic missile and would be less reliable than the more sophisticated designs Iran had considered in the past, which might take a year or more to build. The New York Times further reported that as of 2025, Iran had enough fuel to produce at least four nuclear bombs.<a href="#cite_note-:02-18">[18]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Nuclear_power_as_a_political_issue">Nuclear power as a political issue</h2></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Iran's_nuclear_program_and_the_NPT">Iran's nuclear program and the NPT</h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Treaty_on_the_Non-Proliferation_of_Nuclear_Weapons#Iran" title="Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons">Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons § Iran</a>; and <a href="/wiki/Joint_Comprehensive_Plan_of_Action#Iranian_nuclear_activity,_conflict_with_IAEA_and_Western_countries,_1970–2006" title="Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action">Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action § Iranian nuclear activity, conflict with IAEA and Western countries, 1970–2006</a></div> Iran says that its program is solely for peaceful purposes and consistent with the NPT.<a href="#cite_note-456">[456]</a> The IAEA Board of Governors has found Iran in non-compliance with its NPT safeguards agreement, concluding in a rare non-consensus decision with 12 abstentions,<a href="#cite_note-457">[457]</a> that Iran's past safeguards "breaches" and "failures" constituted "non-compliance" with its Safeguards Agreement<a href="#cite_note-IAEA-GOV/2005/77-113">[113]</a> In the decision, the IAEA Board of Governors also concluded that the concerns raised fell within the competence of the UN Security Council.<a href="#cite_note-IAEA-GOV/2005/77-113">[113]</a> Most experts recognize that non-compliance with an NPT safeguards agreement is not equivalent to a violation of the NPT or does not automatically constitute a violation of the NPT itself.<a href="#cite_note-Joyner-458">[458]</a><a href="#cite_note-459">[459]</a> The IAEA does not make determinations regarding compliance with the NPT,<a href="#cite_note-USState05-460">[460]</a> and the UN Security Council does not have a responsibility to adjudicate treaty violations.<a href="#cite_note-CRS_NPTVio-461">[461]</a> Dr. James Acton, an associate in the Nonproliferation Program at the <a href="/wiki/Carnegie_Endowment_for_International_Peace" title="Carnegie Endowment for International Peace">Carnegie Endowment for International Peace</a>, has said the <a href="/wiki/2010_NPT_Review_Conference" title="2010 NPT Review Conference">2010 NPT Review Conference</a> could recognize that non-compliance with safeguards agreements would violate article III of the NPT.<a href="#cite_note-ActonPO-462">[462]</a> Director of the Australian Nonproliferation and Safeguards Organization and then Chairman of IAEA Standing Advisory Group on Safeguards Implementation<a href="#cite_note-463">[463]</a> John Carlson wrote in considering the case of Iran that "formally IAEA Board of Governors (BOG) decisions concern compliance with safeguards agreements, rather than the NPT as such, but in practical terms non-compliance with a safeguards agreement constitutes non-compliance with the NPT."<a href="#cite_note-464">[464]</a> A September 2009 <a href="/wiki/Congressional_Research_Service" title="Congressional Research Service">Congressional Research Service</a> paper said "whether Iran has violated the NPT is unclear."<a href="#cite_note-CRS_NPTVio-461">[461]</a> A 2005 US State Department report on compliance with arms control and nonproliferation agreements concluded, based on its analysis of the facts and the relevant international laws, that Iran's extensive failures to make required reports to the IAEA made "clear that Iran has violated Article III of the NPT and its IAEA safeguards agreement."<a href="#cite_note-USState05-460">[460]</a> Testimony presented to the <a href="/wiki/Select_committee_(United_Kingdom)" title="Select committee (United Kingdom)">Foreign Select Committee of the British Parliament</a> drew the opposite conclusion: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">The enforcement of Article III of the NPT obligations is carried out through the IAEA's monitoring and verification that is designed to ensure that declared nuclear facilities are operated according to safeguard agreement with Iran, which Iran signed with the IAEA in 1974.
