Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, stated that Tehran has not yet reached a stage of maturity for effective nuclear negotiations with the United States or Europe. Despite recent phone discussions with French, German, and British counterparts aimed at preventing the reimposition of U.N. sanctions under the snapback mechanism, no new proposals or concessions were presented by Iran to address concerns over its nuclear program. European officials, including foreign ministers from France, Germany, and the UK, reported that talks with Araghchi did not yield progress, with Iran maintaining a firm stance against halting uranium enrichment. Ali Larijani, Secretary of the Iranian National Security Council, indicated a potential reconsideration of Iran's commitment to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), reflecting a philosophical shift amid rising tensions. Iran views nuclear weapons as vital for regime survival and cautions against models like Libya's disarmament. The upcoming meetings between Iran and European parties occur against the backdrop of a looming European deadline related to snapback sanctions, with Iran deliberately avoiding actions to prevent their reimposition.
