Britain, France and Germany ministers threatened the restoration of sanctions against Iran if the nuclear agreement does not advance by the summer.
Foreign Ministers from Britain, France and Germany and the EU foreign policy chief told Iranian departmental colleague Abbas Arakči on Thursday that they are determined to renew sanctions unless Tehran does not announce in a nuclear agreement, the French Foreign Ministry said. According to the AFP report, TASR reports this.
The highest diplomats of the aforementioned countries and the EU in the call with Arakčí emphasized “their determination to use (so -called)” Snapback “mechanism that allows all international sanctions against Iran if (by the end of the summer) does not take specific progress” in the Tehran Nuclear Agreement.
Germany, Britain and France were part of the interviews that led to a nuclear agreement between Iran and the world’s powers in 2015. It alleviated sanctions on Iran in exchange for limiting its nuclear activities. US President Donald Trump withdrew from the agreement in 2018. It will expire in October 2025.
Washington and Tehran have led several laps of nuclear negotiations to reach an agreement when Israel interrupted them by attacking Iran, leading to a 12-day armed conflict. From its end, the US and Iran have indicated willingness to return to the negotiating table, but Tehran refused to give up its right to enrich uranium.
Iran rejected repetition that he was trying to produce a nuclear weapon. It insists that its nuclear program serves only for peaceful purposes. Western countries also criticized the Iranian missile program and accused Iran of providing weapons to Russia in the war against Ukraine. However, Iran also rejected these allegations and stated that it did not support any party to the conflict.
