US EditionIran to Hold Call with European Nations over Nuclear Program as Sanctions Deadline Draws Closer
Iran and European nations hold urgent talks to prevent UN sanctions as Iran cuts IAEA cooperation and enriches uranium to near weapons-grade levels, raising international concerns.
- Iran said Friday its Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi will hold a joint telephone call with French, German and British counterparts to discuss nuclear talks and avoid U.N. sanctions ahead of the Aug. 31 deadline.
- The three European powers have threatened to proceed with the accord's snapback mechanism, warning in a letter on Aug. 8 they would reimpose U.N. sanctions if Iran fails to reach a satisfactory solution.
- IAEA access has been restricted as Iran enriched uranium to 60% purity and threatened to arrest IAEA Director‑General Rafael Mariano Grossi, hindering inspections.
- State media said Araqchi and European counterparts will discuss triggering the snapback mechanism, while an Iranian delegation travels to Vienna on Friday; sanctions efforts could face vetoes from U.N. Security Council members China and Russia.
- With contrasting intelligence and limited access, the United States and others contend Iran may use its nuclear programme to develop weapons, while the IAEA and U.S. national intelligence testimony reported no evidence of weaponisation amid suspended Vienna and IAEA inspections after Tehran halted talks post-June strikes.
