Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Wednesday issued a powerful statement condemning the European signatories of the 2015 nuclear deal (JCPOA), accusing them of deliberately undermining the agreement for seven consecutive years and warning that Iran will not tolerate further provocations.

"The E3 have had SEVEN YEARS to implement their JCPOA commitments. They have utterly failed, either by design or ineptitude," Araghchi stated on social media, referring to France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

He added that instead of seeking genuine dialogue, the E3 are now "promoting confrontation through the absurd demand that Iran must be punished for exercising its right under the JCPOA to respond to non-performance by counterparts."

The E3 have had SEVEN YEARS to implement their JCPOA commitments. They have utterly failed, either by design or ineptitude.

Instead of displaying remorse or a desire to facilitate diplomacy, the E3 is today promoting confrontation through the absurd demand that Iran must be…

Political provocation

His comments came as tensions mount over a politically motivated push by the West at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to pressure Iran with a censure resolution, an act Tehran has rejected as illegitimate and hostile.

Earlier this week, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei dismissed the IAEA's latest report as "unfair, unjustified and serving political aims," accusing the agency of acting under Western influence.

"The report is nothing more than a rehashing of old claims and a pretext to issue pressure resolutions," Baghaei said, affirming that Iran has met all its obligations under the JCPOA. He warned that triggering the snapback sanctions mechanism would not only violate the agreement but also "harm European interests and undermine the global treaty framework."

The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) echoed this stance, making clear that the Western effort is not based on technical evidence but driven by political animosity toward Iran's sovereign achievements.

Justified resistance

Since the United States unilaterally violated the JCPOA in 2018, Iran has acted within its rights under Articles 26 and 36 to take remedial measures. While the West has escalated pressure, Iran has consistently extended diplomatic initiatives, only to be met with sanctions.

"As I have warned: Another major strategic mistake by the E3 will compel Iran to react STRONGLY. Blame will lie solely and FULLY with malign actors who shatter their own relevance," Araghchi declared.

Despite Western provocations, Iran has remained open to dialogue. A sixth round of indirect talks with the United States, mediated by Oman and Rome, is scheduled to take place Sunday in Muscat.

Iranian negotiators have prepared a sound proposal centered on permanent sanctions relief, normalized banking channels, and full recognition of Iran's right to peaceful nuclear enrichment, demands consistent with Iran's sovereignty and the original JCPOA framework.

Iranian lawmakers have warned that any attempt to manipulate diplomacy or corner Iran through force and deception will be seen for what it is: a strategic trap meant to deny Iran its natural rights.

As Baghaei noted, "reimposing sanctions is like a double-edged sword," one that will hurt those who wield it more than Iran.
