In a significant diplomatic development, the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and France introduced a resolution against Iran during a meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors.

In response, a coalition of countries including Belarus, China, Russia, Syria, Nicaragua, Zimbabwe, and Venezuela issued a joint statement expressing support for Iran.

They urged Iran to return to the negotiating table despite the condemnation from the IAEA.
