Waht she's saying:
Negotiations on ending Iran's nuclear programme should restart as soon as possible Cooperation with IAEA must resume, EU High Representative Kaja Kallas wrote on X.
"The EU is ready to facilitate this Any threats to pull out of the non-proliferation treaty don’t help to lower tensions This is what I told (Iranian FM) Araghchi tosay."
What he's saying:
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi commmented on M. Kallas' post.
"If the Coordinator of the JCPOA Joint Commission believes that the objective of any potential negotiation is ending Iran’s nuclear program, it means:
- EU High Representative kaja kallas disregards the provisions of the NPT, which explicitly affirm the right of all signatories to develop, research, and use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
- The provisions of UN Security Council Resolution 2231 and the JCPOA no longer hold any validity for its official Coordinator, thereby rendering the so-called snapback mechanism baseless.
- The participation and role of the European Union and its member states, plus UK, in any future negotiation would be irrelevant and therefore meaningless.
