Overview

• Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the September Cairo framework with IAEA chief Rafael Grossi can no longer serve as the basis for engagement.
• Britain, France, and Germany reimposed UN measures using the JCPOA snapback mechanism after Tehran curtailed access for inspectors following June strikes.
• Araghchi argued the Europeans have diminished their leverage and indicated future talks will take a different format, though he said Iran remains open to trust-building steps.
• Under the Cairo terms and new Iranian law, any site visit required approval by the Supreme National Security Council, leaving verification constrained even before today’s shift.
• Tehran accused the UN watchdog of double standards, and domestic debate persists over the NPT as President Masoud Pezeshkian affirms continued treaty commitments.
