Iran Voids IAEA Inspection Framework After Snapback and Rules Out Talks With Europe

Tehran says the E3’s sanctions move nullified the Cairo plan that was meant to restart access for UN monitors.

Overview

  • Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog is "no longer relevant" and declared the September Cairo agreement invalid.
  • Britain, France and Germany triggered the JCPOA snapback, leading to the return of UN sanctions that the European powers say address Iranian non-compliance.
  • Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman said there is no plan to negotiate with the European trio as Tehran reviews the consequences of the sanctions.
  • Tehran accuses the IAEA of double standards for not condemning June Israeli and US strikes on its nuclear sites, after which parliament limited routine access to inspectors.
  • Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful and signals conditional openness to diplomacy, while asserting Europe will have a diminished role in any future talks.
