Tehran, Iran – Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Sunday that Tehran is ready for a realistic deal that includes controls and restrictions on uranium enrichment in exchange for lifting sanctions on the country.
Araqchi explained to The Guardian newspaper that Tehran is open to diplomacy in a realistic and lasting deal.
He pointed out that there is an urgent need for dialogue.
He also continued: “We are ready to formulate a realistic and lasting agreement that includes strict control and restrictions on enrichment in exchange for lifting sanctions”.
“Failure to seize this opportunity could have devastating consequences for the region and beyond on a whole new level,” he added.
The Iranian Foreign Minister added, “If Europe really wants a diplomatic solution, and if President Donald Trump wants to focus on real issues, they must give diplomacy the time and space it needs to succeed”, noting that the alternative to diplomacy is not good.
fair negotiation
Araqchi said on Saturday that his country would begin dialogue with the United States when it was ready for fair negotiations, while continuing communication through mediators.
He pointed out the European Troika’s mistake in activating the trigger mechanism and complicating matters.
As the Iranian Foreign Minister indicated, Tehran will not return to the negotiating table under the previous conditions, but rather it will be necessary to agree on a new framework in light of the current situation.
It is noteworthy that the European Troika (France, Germany and Britain) informed the Security Council last week of the activation of the rapid return mechanism to UN sanctions (Snapback).
This is if Tehran does not allow UN inspectors to return to three nuclear facilities that were bombed by the United States in June.
In addition to providing accurate information on about 400 kg of 60% enriched uranium.
In addition to engaging in direct and constructive negotiations with Washington in order to reach a new nuclear agreement.
While Iranian officials criticized this measure, stressing that it was “illegal and politicized, and came in implementation of American orders”.
They also threatened to respond to these measures.
They considered that activating Snapback would have devastating repercussions at the international level, and on relations between Tehran and the IAEA as well.
