European E3 - صفحه 5

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says a decision by the European troika to unleash the snapback mechanism of sanctions on Iran will turn the E3 into a permanently spent force.

Foreign ministers of the three European countries and the European Union’s foreign policy chief held a phone call with Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Tuesday.

A report published in the media has ruled out the cataclysmic scenarios envisioned for the Iranian economy after a potential return of the United Nations sanctions, a process known as the snapback that European parties to a 2015 deal on Iran’s nuclear program have vowed to trigger if the country fails to accept their demands.

The U.S. State Department announced late Wednesday that Secretary of State Marco Rubio held consultations with his European counterparts from France, Germany, and the United Kingdom on developments regarding Iran.

The record of Tehran–Europe relations over the past four decades has followed a cyclical path, oscillating between confrontation and engagement.

Senior Iranian diplomat Kazem Gharibabadi, Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, has called on the three European parties to the JCPOA and the UN Security Council to make the right choice and give diplomacy “time and space.”

The next round of talks between Iran and Europe will be held in Geneva on Tuesday.

A senior Russian diplomat says the European troika—Britain, France, and Germany—lack a clear strategy to break the “deadlock” they are poised to create if they follow through on their threat to invoke the “snapback” mechanism against Iran.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran is open to any diplomatic solution that safeguards its national rights, while warning Europe that triggering the JCPOA snapback mechanism would carry serious consequences.

Iran and Russia have underlined lack of all legal and moral authority on the part of the European trio of the UK, France, and Germany to try to have the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) reinstate its sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

China’s mission to the United Nations has declared the country’s firm opposition to threats by European parties to the 2015 nuclear deal to activate the "snapback" mechanism within the framework of UN Security Council Resolution 2231.

Iran’s foreign minister has warned the European parties to the 2015 nuclear deal that invoking the so-called snapback mechanism would be illegal, but that Tehran has prepared a response to potential attempts to restore the UN sanctions against the country.

A senior Russian diplomat has roundly rejected the UK, France, and Germany’s push to invoke the so-called “snapback” mechanism inside the UN Security Council Resolution 2231 that has endorsed a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world countries, including the trio.

A senior Iranian diplomat says the Islamic Republic is ready to continue nuclear talks with the European troika and to defend its peaceful nuclear rights.

Tehran has recently shown fresh signs of flexibility in its stance toward the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its willingness to continue talks with Washington and the European troika. This flexibility, however, comes with two key considerations: first, the pressing nature of time and the need to seize opportunities to reach a “balance point” in the disputes; and second, doubts over the true nature of the negotiation framework proposed by Europe, the United States, and, by extension, the IAEA. Is the West’s hidden aim to persuade Iranian decision-makers to suspend the nuclear program — with ongoing disputes over the method and timetable — or to push Tehran toward making a final choice?

In a new act of interference, France, Germany and UK repeated their claims against Iran's nuclear deal and threatened to reimpose illegal sanctions against the country's peaceful nuclear program.

A deputy Iranian foreign minister has said European E3 including UK, France and Germany do not have the right to activate the snapback mechanism.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, while warning the West about activating the SnapBack mechanism, said: "We are going to define a new protocol with the International Atomic Energy Agency, in accordance with the binding resolution of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, to see how we can continue cooperation."

Iran and the European troika—France, Britain and Germany—agree to continue discussion on sanctions relief and the nuclear issue, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi has said.

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi says Tehran insists on its “absolute” right to enrichment inside the country as per the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
