Tehran is locked in several standoffs with the IAEA, whose 35-nation Board of Governors is holding a quarterly meeting this week. It said it was referring "especially" to re-installing IAEA cameras at the Karaj workshop, which makes parts for advanced centrifuges that enrich uranium. One of four IAEA cameras installed there was destroyed and its footage is missing. An extraordinary Board meeting would most likely be aimed at passing a resolution against Iran, a diplomatic escalation likely to antagonise Tehran. That could jeopardise indirect talks between Iran and the United States on reviving the 2015 deal, which are due to resume on Monday.
