According to webangah News Agency’s English section citing Mehr News Agency and Russia today, German Foreign Minister Joachim Wadephul reiterated Berlin’s hostile position toward Tehran on Saturday. Without mentioning the European troika’s failure to fulfill its commitments in the 2015 Iran deal, he claimed that Germany might activate the “snapback” mechanism against Iran.
the German minister once again threatened to impose “snapback” sanctions if no progress occurs in talks regarding Iran’s peaceful nuclear program by August 30 this year.
Wadephul also ignored Tehran’s membership in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and Iran’s legal right to enrichment.He asserted, “We must clearly state that Iran must abandon such enrichment activities and technologies for which there is no civilian justification.”
He further claimed to be “negotiating” with Tehran.
earlier, Esmaeil Baqaee, spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, responded to questions about repeated European threats of using the so-called “snapback” mechanism. He stated: “There is no justification for keeping Iran’s nuclear issue on the United Nations Security Council agenda beyond its scheduled removal date.” Baqaee emphasized that due to their own stance and behavior regarding commitments under the JCPOA,these three European countries have neither legitimacy nor rights to resort to such a mechanism.
He added that by persistently violating their JCPOA commitments and supporting military attacks by the US and Israel against Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities-an explicit breach of UN security Council Resolution 2231 and an affront to its core subject confirming Iran’s peaceful nuclear program including enrichment-these countries have deliberately undermined their status as JCPOA participants. Consequently, they lack any legal authority either to employ or extend JCPOA mechanisms they themselves have breached.
