E3 Sets Terms for Iran to Avert UN Curbs
Britain, France, and Germany offer to delay UN sanctions on Iran for up to six months if Iran restores inspector access and addresses uranium concerns, aiming to extend diplomatic talks.
- On August 29, 2025, Britain, France, and Germany urged Iran at the UN to meet three conditions to delay UN sanctions.
- The E3 offered to postpone the snapback sanction process for up to six months if Iran allowed UN inspectors access, addressed uranium concerns, and resumed US talks.
- Iran’s representative to the United Nations dismissed the E3 proposal as containing impractical demands and advocated for a brief, unconditional extension of Resolution 2231 instead.
- Britain's UN Ambassador Barbara Woodward emphasized that their demands were reasonable and achievable, but highlighted that Iran has yet to demonstrate a genuine commitment to comply, even after inspectors returned following Iran's suspension of cooperation due to recent attacks.
- The call reflects ongoing tension with Iran over its disputed nuclear program, with the E3's ultimatum aiming to reopen diplomacy before sanctions are reinstated under the 2015 deal framework.
