"The precise mechanism for international oversight of Iran's nuclear program remains unclear. It is only clear that the longstanding item on the IAEA Board of Governors agenda on verification and monitoring in Iran under UN Security Council Resolution 2231 since 2015 should be removed," he said.Ulyanov also said that the resolution, like the nuclear deal itself, expired on October 18. Thus, the Board of Governors will be able to discuss the Iranian issue only within the framework of the item concerning Iran's safeguards agreement with the IAEA."Discussions may be cut in half, but their intensity is likely to remain. A greater clarity on how things to develop will be after the next IAEA Board of Governors session, set for November 19–21 of the current [2025] year. But in any case, Iran, as we understand, contrary to numerous speculations, intends to remain in the NPT," Ulyanov added.In October, the UN Security Council Resolution 2231 expired, which endorsed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA, or nuclear deal) in 2015 and established international oversight mechanisms over its implementation.In 2015, the United Kingdom, Germany, China, Russia, the United States, France, and Iran concluded the JCPOA, which offered sanctions relief in exchange for restrictions on Iran's nuclear program. During US President Donald Trump's previous presidential term, the United States withdrew from the JCPOA in May 2018 and reinstated sanctions against the Islamic Republic. In response, Iran announced a gradual reduction in its obligations under the agreement, specifically abandoning restrictions on nuclear research and uranium enrichment levels.

Iran Intends to Stay in NPT Despite Speculation – Russian Envoy in Vienna
There is no clear framework yet for international oversight of Iranian nuclear program, but despite many speculations, Tehran is expected to remain in the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), Russian Permanent Representative to International Organizations in Vienna Mikhail Ulyanov told Sputnik.
"The precise mechanism for international oversight of Iran's nuclear program remains unclear. It is only clear that the longstanding item on the IAEA Board of Governors agenda on verification and monitoring in Iran under UN Security Council Resolution 2231 since 2015 should be removed," he said.
