Iran has condemned the latest IAEA report as politically motivated and warned that any move to trigger snapback sanctions could backfire on Europe.

Iran's Foreign Ministry has harshly criticized the latest IAEA report on its nuclear program as "unfair, unjustified and serving political aims," cautioning that the snapback sanctions mechanism could harm European interests and undermine the global treaty framework, spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Tuesday.

Baghaei dismissed the report as a "mere rehashing of past issues" and a "pretext for issuing pressure resolutions," likening Western approaches to the failed tactics of 2004–2006.

He added, "We do not trust Europe at all, and the Europeans must prove they are trustworthy negotiators," asserting that "we will not make any concessions to the Europeans under the pressure of the snapback mechanism."

The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran echoed this stance, stating that Western efforts "aim to trigger the snapback mechanism and reinstate sanctions without any technical evidence to justify it," and affirming "Iran has fulfilled all its obligations."

Sanctions standoff

This rhetoric comes ahead of the IAEA Board's session expected this week, where Western states, led by the US, UK, France, and Germany, plan to propose a censure resolution accusing Iran of non-cooperation, potentially triggering the previously suspended snapback sanctions mechanism. 

In parallel, Iran announced that a sixth round of indirect nuclear talks with the US is scheduled for Sunday in Muscat, Oman, despite earlier US indications of a different date.

These five prior rounds, mediated by Oman and Rome, focused on replacing the 2015 nuclear accord. Tehran says it will present a "reasonable, logical and balanced" counterproposal detailing economic benefits, banking normalization, and guaranteed enrichment rights.

Nuclear resolve

Iranian lawmakers have warned that any US approach perceived as a "strategic trap" risks failure, insisting that any agreement must include permanent sanctions relief and formal recognition of Iran's uranium enrichment rights. 

Amid rising tensions, Baghaei warned that reimposing sanctions "is like a double-edged sword," signaling that Iran stands ready to defend its nuclear and economic interests.
