Tehran’s nuclear program has been the subject of a warning from Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who made the comments in a Sunday French weekly to warn European countries against a” method of fight.” French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot stated in late April that if Iran‘s nuclear activities threaten European security, France, Germany, and Britain,” will never wait for a one minute to return all the sanctions” that were lifted ten years ago. In remarks made by European weekly Le Point, Araghchi claimed that” this technique of confrontation runs the risk of provoking a world nuclear proliferation crisis that would mainly affect Europeans themselves.”

Araghchi said he was prepared to travel to Paris, Berlin, and London” to start a new book” by criticizing the fact that the so-called” snapback” system, which allows UN sanctions to remain reinstated in the event that Iran violates its commitments, was” today being used as a political lever” rather than “initially designed as a resource for settling disputes as a last resort.” Iran “has made its position clear,” said Araghchi, pointing out that the country has warned the world that “abusing the” snapback” mechanism will lead to the end of Europe’s role in the deal as well as an escalation of tensions that could become irreversible. He said,” The E3 must ask itself how it has reached this impasse,” referring to France, Germany, and Britain. They have instead chosen to use human rights or Iran’s legitimate relations with Russia as scuzific justifications for their diplomatic stance, according to the comments, which were made as Iran and the United States launched their fourth round of nuclear talks in Muscat. The negotiations come after earlier rounds that started almost a month ago, making them the first high level exchanges between the two adversaries since Washington withdrew from the nuclear deal in his first term in 2018.
