The UN Security Council met on October 27, 2026 on Iran's nuclear program after the IAEA Board of Governors voted to refer Tehran's nuclear dossier to the council. IAEA chief Rafael Grossi urged Iran at the meeting to grant immediate access so the agency can verify its nuclear materials, and the agency has had no access to key facilities since the June 2025 conflict. IRNA reported that Iran's UN ambassador Gholamhossein Darzi criticized Western council members for their silence on US and Israeli attacks on Iran and questioned the council's concern about inspectors while Israel holds nuclear weapons. Press TV reported that China criticized US policy on Iran, while Russia rejected the legality of the meeting. No other outlet in the sources carried those accounts.
