FM Araqchi says Iran to work with IAEA, but inspections may be risky
IRAN, JUL 12 – Iran will manage its nuclear cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency through its Supreme National Security Council following recent attacks, maintaining enrichment rights, officials said.
- On Saturday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated Iran will continue cooperating with the IAEA under new terms in Tehran.
- This shift follows a new law requiring IAEA inspections to gain Supreme National Security Council approval due to security concerns after U.S. and Israeli strikes.
- Araqchi emphasized Iran will only negotiate on nuclear activities, will not accept deals excluding uranium enrichment, and warned that the IAEA’s actions partly triggered military attacks.
- He also said, "Snapback would mean the end of Europe's role" on sanctions, and cautioned about risks of radioactive contamination and inspector safety at nuclear sites.
- Iran’s stance suggests future talks depend on guarantees against military force and respect for enrichment rights, while European powers may reimpose sanctions by October 18, 2025.
