“With the Europeans, there is no reason right now to negotiate because they cannot lift sanctions, they cannot do anything,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in an interview with the Financial Times, APA reports.
Araghchi hit out at the UK, France and Germany, European signatories to the 2015 accord, who have warned they would trigger a “snapback” mechanism to reinstate UN sanctions at the end of August if Tehran does not resume negotiations with Washington and co-operation with the IAEA.
Araghchi said Tehran would end talks with the European powers if they did, accusing them of failing to meet their commitments under the 2015 accord.
