Iran's top diplomat Abbas Araghchi warned on Wednesday of a "proportionate" response from Tehran if a Western-backed resolution critical of Iran is passed at the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Araghchi said in a phone conversation with IAEA chief Rafel Grossi that if the parties "ignore Iran's goodwill and interactive approach and put non-constructive measures on the agenda in the Board of Governors meeting through the issuance of a resolution, Iran will respond in a proportionate and appropriate manner."
