Iran says cooperation with UN nuclear watchdog 'no longer relevant'

On October 6, 2025, Iran stated it does not intend to promptly restart negotiations on its nuclear program with European countries following the reintroduction of sanctions by Britain, France, and Germany.
On September 28, Britain, France, and Germany reinstated sanctions, activating the UN’s snapback mechanism following the US exit from the agreement in 2018.
Iran rejects accusations from the US, Israel, and Western countries that it pursues nuclear weapons and insists its program is solely civilian with a right to uranium enrichment under the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei indicated that Iran is not currently pursuing nuclear talks but will continue diplomatic efforts to maintain communication, with any future engagement to be determined by the country's interests.
In response to the reinstatement of sanctions, Iran has stepped back from certain obligations related to uranium enrichment and indicated that ongoing collaboration with the IAEA may no longer be meaningful.
