The decision comes as officials say they believe that Israel is preparing to launch a military attack on Iran. Tehran condemned the vote.
The International Atomic Energy Agency declared on Thursday that Iran was not complying with its nuclear nonproliferation obligations, the first time the U.N. watchdog has passed a resolution against the country in 20 years.
The long-anticipated censure vote by the agency’s board of governors in Vienna came at a time of high tension over Tehran’s nuclear program, with American and European officials saying they believe that Israel may be preparing an imminent military strike against Iran.
Iran condemned the vote, calling it political in a joint statement from its foreign ministry and national atomic energy agency. The resolution “completely called into question the credibility and prestige” of the nuclear watchdog, they said.
The statement added that Iran will “launch a new enrichment center in a secure location and replace the first-generation machines” at another site with more modern equipment.
