• Germany tightened its travel warning, urged its citizens to exit Iran and said its Tehran embassy can provide only limited consular support.
• The E3 — Germany, France and the UK — formally triggered the UN ‘snapback’ process under Resolution 2231, citing repeated JCPOA violations and poor IAEA cooperation.
• Under the mechanism, previously lifted UN sanctions return after 30 days unless the Security Council adopts a resolution to continue sanctions relief.
• Iran condemned the move as baseless and unlawful; Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned of an appropriate response but indicated possible talks if the step is reversed.
• Iran’s parliament placed a bill to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty on its agenda as Russia and China criticized the European decision.
