Why it matters:
Her remarks clearly show Tehran's continued commitment to diplomacy.
The big picture:
Iran's government has expressed its willingness to engage in talks with European nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) regarding its nuclear peaceful activities. However, the rejection of Iran's proposals by these parties casts doubts on the future of diplomacy and raises concerns about potential escalation in the region.
What she is saying:
Iran's government spokeswoman, Fatemeh Mohajerani, stated, "Iran announced its readiness to hold a meeting with three European countries, the IAEA, but they did not accept or attend the meeting."
She elaborated that the initial discussions were meant to address the 60% uranium enrichment levels in relation to the snapback mechanism, which Iran sought to eliminate—a proposal that was rejected.
Key points:
- The proposal for a 45-day delay in the snapback mechanism was ultimately rejected under pressure from pro-Israel lobbying groups.
