Overview

• Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi met IAEA chief Rafael Grossi in New York and is slated to meet European ministers on Tuesday, according to diplomats.
• A Security Council bid to preserve sanctions relief won only four votes, leaving automatic reimposition due Sept. 28 unless members reverse course.
• Iran’s Supreme National Security Council declared a suspension of cooperation with the IAEA after the vote, and the watchdog’s director called the situation a “difficult juncture.”
• France, Germany, and the UK offered to delay snapback for up to six months if Tehran restores full inspector access, addresses its enriched uranium inventory, and resumes talks involving the United States.
• The IAEA previously reported about 9,875 kilograms of Iranian uranium, including roughly 441 kilograms at 60% enrichment, while a Cairo framework on inspections left key implementation timelines unclear.
