Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has called for a negotiated settlement to the ongoing nuclear dispute with the United States.

Iran reaffirms its sovereignty over the three Persian Gulf islands and condemns “destructive and divisive” European interference in its defense and nuclear programs.

Iran says it expects world countries not to comply with the European troika in implementing the revived sanctions.

Iran thanks Pakistan for its “responsible stance” at the United Nations Security Council against the European countries’ abuse of a dispute mechanism outlined in the 2015 nuclear deal to re-impose sanctions against the Islamic Republic. 

Iran denounces the G7's endorsement of a move to reimpose terminated UN sanctions, labeling it as "deceitful" and a "distortion of reality."

The Russian ambassador to the United Nations says his country does not recognize the legitimacy of re-imposing sanctions on Iran via snapback mechanism.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says an agreement on the snapback mechanism was unattainable due to the excessive ambition of the US and the support of European countries.

Iran’s foreign minister has rejected claims by the United States and the E3 that previously terminated UN Security Council sanctions on Iran have been restored through the so-called snapback mechanism.

This episode of Spotlight examines what the snapback mechanism is and what its potential consequences will be in the days ahead.

Russian foreign ministry spokesperson says attempts of the three UN Security Council countries to return the anti-Iranian sanctions are a fraud.
