## Prediction

Tehran is likely to double down within 24 hours on its claim that UNSC Resolution 2231 is void and that it will not permit inspections at sites struck by U.S. and Israeli forces. This move will be framed domestically as defending sovereignty and deterring covert attacks, while externally it will further erode the legal basis for the JCPOA framework. The stance will constrain European diplomacy and push EU states closer to U.S. hardliners considering broader sanctions and possible military options. Confirmation would be a formal government or parliamentary resolution restating these positions; denial would be quiet back-channel acceptance of limited IAEA access or a walk-back in state media.

## Drivers

- Iran’s foreign ministry already publicly declaring UNSC 2231 has lost legal force
- Explicit rejection of inspections at attacked sites
- Rebuilding activity at Parchin’s Taleqan-2 facility
- U.S. statements that chances of a new nuclear deal are shrinking
