Iran, European powers agree to resume nuclear, sanctions talks next week

Iran and European powers resume nuclear talks to avoid reimposition of UN sanctions via the snapback mechanism, with Europe setting an end-of-August deadline, officials said.

  • On Tuesday, August 26, Iran will meet in Geneva with France, the United Kingdom, and Germany at the deputy minister level, led by Majid Takht-Ravanchi, to resume nuclear talks.
  • With the snapback power due to expire in October, the Europeans set an internal deadline and threatened to trigger it unless Iran curbs enrichment; Abbas Araghchi warned this would be 'legally baseless, morally unjustified.'
  • The IAEA has warned that inspectors have been unable to access Iran's nuclear sites since Tehran suspended cooperation after a 12-day war with Israel, raising alarm over more than 400 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60%, a step toward 90% weapons-grade levels.
  • Europe warned it is prepared to reimpose sanctions, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said, `We have just made an important call to our Iranian counterpart regarding the nuclear programme and the sanctions against Iran that we are preparing to reimpose,' and snapback would reinstate the arms embargo, export controls, travel bans, and asset freezes.
  • With China and Russia positioned to veto, Iran will consult its Security Council allies this month, while experts warn renewed sanctions risk isolating Iran and destabilizing the region, threatening the NPT.
