In a recent IRNA interview, Iranian official Abbas Araghchi discussed rising tensions following US and Israeli attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, impacting the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). He criticized European nations for threatening to activate the snapback mechanism, which would restore UN sanctions against Iran, claiming they lack the right to do so due to their stance on “zero enrichment.” Araghchi reassured that the economic consequences of such actions would be manageable, while Iran collaborates with China and Russia on countermeasures. He also mentioned ongoing negotiations with the IAEA to establish a new framework for cooperation, adapting to recent challenges.
