Araghchi, who is in New York to attend the United Nations General Assembly, in response to an IRNA reporter's question about the possibility of meeting with the foreign ministers of three European countries and the EU's foreign policy chief about the snapback mechanism said that such a meeting has been proposed and consultations are underway with the three European countries that are members of the JCPOA (Britain, France, and Germany) and the European Union's foreign policy chief.
He stressed that Iran's choice is to achieve a peaceful solution, and said: "We proved this in practice and when the JCPOA agreement was reached. We remained committed to the JCPOA until the Americans withdrew from it."
Araghchi considered the current situation regarding the Iranian nuclear issue and Security Council Resolution 2231 to be the result of the US withdrawal from this agreement, and stated: "If the US had not withdrawn from this agreement, Iran would have proven that it is seeking to use diplomacy and peaceful and diplomatic solutions."
Araghchi said, "In consultations with the three European countries and in messages we have with the American side, both directly and indirectly, we emphasized that we are ready to reach a diplomatic solution regarding the withdrawal mechanism, but a solution that meets the interests of the Iranian people and takes into account our security concerns and concerns."
The Foreign Minister said: "I am here (in New York) to use diplomatic consultations to find a solution, and otherwise, the path of the Iranian people is clear and we will continue on our own path."
Stating that Iran will resist all pressures, Araghchi emphasized that "we think that the good of the region, the good of the non-proliferation regime, and international law all depend on finding a diplomatic solution to the Iranian nuclear issue and snapback mechanism."
