Speaking on the sidelines of a cabinet meeting in Tehran on Wednesday, Mohajerani discussed the efforts of the country’s diplomatic team to delay or suspend the “snapback” of UN sanctions, triggered by the three European signatories of the 2015 nuclear deal - Britain, France, and Germany.
She emphasized that the country’s diplomatic apparatus employed its full efforts to delay or suspend the snapback, but pressure from the Zionist lobby is significant in shaping the decision-making of both Europe and the United States.
The spokesperson added that the initial discussions were meant to center around the stockpile of 60% enriched uranium and the snapback issue, adding that Iran’s position was a complete removal of the snapback mechanism, but the other party did not accept it.
Referring to Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi’s report on his trip to New York, Mohajerani said that Tehran declared its readiness to hold a meeting with the three European countries, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and US envoy Steve Witkoff. However, this request was either not accepted by them or they did not attend the scheduled meetings, she added.
Asked about the parliament’s decision to suspend cooperation with the IAEA following the activation of the snapback mechanism, the spokesperson said the issue of the snapback and cooperation with the Agency will be reviewed and decided upon by the Supreme National Security Council.
She emphasized that any decisions made in line with national interests will be communicated to the public.
