The motion passed with 19 votes in favor, while Russia, China, and Burkina Faso opposed. The resolution calls on Iran to respond to inquiries about undeclared nuclear sites, intensifying scrutiny over its nuclear activities and potential weaponization. Iranian officials have hinted at possible retaliatory measures amid rising tensions with Western nations.
