EU3 Warned of Miscalculation Over Iran’s Nuclear Issue
TEHRAN – Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has cautioned that any miscalculation by the European troika or the Western governments regarding Iran’s nuclear program could have serious consequences.
In a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, Araghchi and Omani Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi discussed the regional and international developments, including the situation in occupied Palestine.
The two ministers stressed the necessity of global action to halt the genocide of Palestinians and to hold the Israeli officials accountable in competent international courts.
Regarding Iran’s nuclear program, Araghchi highlighted Tehran’s responsible approach and reiterated that progress depends on the European parties’ commitment to international obligations, including the lifting of unjust sanctions.
He warned that any miscalculation by the European or Western actors could trigger serious repercussions, underscoring Iran’s readiness to defend its national interests.
Araghchi also had a meeting with International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi to review the latest state of cooperation between Tehran and the IAEA.
In the meeting, held on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, Araghchi underlined Iran’s goodwill and responsible stance on the nuclear issue.
He stressed that further progress depends on the accountability of other parties and an end to their excessive demands and misuse of the UN Security Council to pressure Iran.
Grossi, in turn, commended Iran’s positive approach in its dealings with the IAEA, particularly the Cairo Understanding.
He also emphasized the importance of diplomatic efforts by all relevant actors to prevent escalation and maintain dialogue.
On September 10, Iran and the IAEA finalized an agreement on the continuation of cooperation under new conditions.
The agreement was reached in Cairo following weeks of negotiations.
