Overview

• Foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said the September Cairo framework for inspections is no longer relevant and cannot proceed under current conditions.
• Britain, France, and Germany reactivated the JCPOA snapback, restoring UN sanctions last week over what they said was Iranian non‑compliance.
• Iran cited security threats and attacks on its nuclear facilities and criticized the IAEA for not condemning those strikes.
• Tehran signaled it remains open to trust‑building steps and new negotiations but said European countries will play a much smaller role.
• Inspections had been suspended after the June strikes, parliament requires Supreme National Security Council approval for any visits, and internal debate continues over NPT commitments.
