Following the launch of the process to activate the snapback mechanism by European countries, Iran\u2019s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi sent a letter to Kaja Kallas, the European Union\u2019s foreign policy chief, strongly criticizing the move and calling it \u201cinvalid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Araghchi stressed that, from Tehran\u2019s perspective, UN Security Council Resolution 2231 must expire as scheduled on October 18, 2025. His remarks come as the legal process for reimposing UN sanctions, initiated by Europe, is designed to become enforceable within one month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also expressed Iran\u2019s \u201cconditional readiness\u201d to resume diplomatic negotiations, saying that such talks require \u201cseriousness and goodwill\u201d from the other parties and a halt to \u201cdestructive measures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The snapback mechanism, part of the 2015 nuclear deal, allows remaining participants to restore all UN Security Council sanctions on Iran if it is deemed to be in violation of its commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Observers note that Tehran, while signaling openness to negotiations, is simultaneously warning of possible withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Analysts say this dual approach aims to gain political concessions and avert the escalation of international pressure. Western governments regard this as a bargaining tactic Iran has used in the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
