Araghchi: A new round of talks is only be possible when the other side is ready for a fair nuclear deal

Seyed Abbas Araghchi, the Foreign Minister, elaborated on the joint telephone conference with the foreign ministers of the three European countries and the EU’s foreign policy chief in a message on the social media platform X.

Araghchi’s message is as follows:

I had a joint teleconference with E3 FMs & EU HR last night, in which I made the following points clear:

It was the US that withdrew from a two-year negotiated deal -coordinated by EU in 2015- not Iran; and it was US that left the negotiation table in June this year and chose a military option instead, not Iran.

Any new round of talks is only possible when the other side is ready for a fair, balanced, and mutually beneficial nuclear deal.

If EU/E3 want to have a role, they should act responsibly, and put aside the worn-out policies of threat and pressure, including the "snap-back" for which they lack absolutely no moral and legal ground.
