The US and 40 partner countries gathered in Prague last week for a symposium to advance the implementation of reimposed United Nations Security Council resolutions (UNSCRs) against Iran, the US State Department confirmed on Tuesday.
At the symposium, the countries discussed the "full range of issues affecting UN Member State implementation of the renewed obligations," the State Department noted.
"The symposium served as an opportunity to secure commitments from several attending countries that intend to receive country- and sector-specific technical security assistance from the United States to maximize the impact of sanctions on the Iranian regime," the State Department commented.
"The symposium featured discussions on the threats posed by the Iranian regime’s nuclear, ballistic missile, and conventional arms activities. Participants discussed the importance of using all relevant national measures and capabilities to implement the provisions enumerated in the restored resolutions more robustly," the statement added.
"In view of the Iranian regime’s continued proliferation threat and the brutal crackdown on Iranian protestors, the United States and partners recognize the urgent need to promote universal implementation of the UNSCRs and associated restrictive measures on Iran’s proliferation activities," the State Department affirmed.
Six UNSCRs were reimposed on September 27, 2025, after the Islamic Republic regime's "continuing 'significant non-performance' of its nuclear commitments," the State Department noted.
What are the six UNSCRs discussed at the symposium?
The relevant UNSCRs are 1696, 1737, 1747, 1803, 1835, and 1929.
UNSCR 1696 was adopted on July 31, 2006, and "Expresses concern at the intentions of Iran’s nuclear programme and demands that Iran halt its uranium enrichment programme," according to the UNSC's website.
UNSCR 1737 was adopted on December 23, 2006, and "Establishes a Security Council Sanctions Committee (1737 Committee); imposes sanctions on Iran for failing to stop its uranium enrichment programme following resolution 1696 (2006); imposes a ban the supply of nuclear-related technology and materials and imposes assets freeze on key individuals and companies related to the enrichment programme," per the website.
UNSCR 1747 was adopted on March 24, 2007, and "Imposes a two-way arms embargo on Iran and steps up the freeze on assets already put in place."
UNSCR 1803 was adopted on March 3, 2008, and "Requires Iran to cease and desist from any and all uranium enrichment. It also requires Iran to stop any research and development associated with centrifuges and uranium enrichment."
UNSCR 1835 was adopted on September 27, 2008, and "Calls upon Iran to comply fully and without delay with its obligations under resolutions 1737 (2006), 1747 (2007), and 1803 (2008) and to meet the requirements of the IAEA Board of Governors."
UNSCR 1929 was adopted on June 9, 2010. Among the topics it discusses are Iran's uranium mining, production, nuclear materials, and enrichment. It also discusses their military capabilities, including ballistic missiles and other potential nuclear weapons delivery systems. It also restricts business and economic relationships with Iranian banks in the event of suspected links with nuclear proliferation. Additionally, it restricts travel for certain Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders, among others.
