The three countries have already had “good consultations” on the UN sanctions snapback, Tehran has said.
Russia, China, and Iran will hold talks on Tuesday to discuss Tehran’s nuclear program, Esmaeil Baghaei, a spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, has announced. He noted that a separate round of talks with European nations is scheduled for later this week.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Baghaei said that the trilateral talks would also focus on the threats by Britain, France, and Germany to reimpose UN sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program. In particular, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot warned of a potential sanctions snapback next month if no meaningful progress is made in limiting Iran’s nuclear activities.
Baghaei noted that Russia and China remain members of the 2015 nuclear deal and hold significant influence in the UN Security Council. He added that Iran had had “good consultations” with the two countries regarding the potential sanctions snapback. “Legally and logically, there is no reason for the return of sanctions lifted under the [nuclear deal],” he stressed.
The spokesman also confirmed that Iran would hold a separate meeting at the deputy foreign minister level with Britain, France, and Germany in Istanbul on Friday, adding that Tehran has “no plans to talk with the US” at this time.
One of the key stumbling blocks has been Iran’s decision to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which was monitoring Tehran’s nuclear program. Tehran has accused the IAEA of releasing a biased report, which was allegedly used as a pretense by Israel to launch a 12-day war against Iran.
The Israeli attack came after Iran-US nuclear talks ended up at an impasse due to Washington’s demand that Tehran fully abandon uranium enrichment. While the US has argued that Iran could use the capacity to create a nuclear bomb, Iran has dismissed any plans of doing so, insisting that it needs enrichment to fuel its civilian energy industry.
Both Russia and China maintain that the Iranian nuclear crisis can only be resolved through political and diplomatic means.
Just get on with acquiring a nuclear deterrent, its your only option Iran. The sanctions are just an excuse, that will apply whether you have nukes or not. This is neo imperialism, they want your resources, its as simple as that. Same reason there’s a proxy war, Russia is being forced to fight.
The president of China, when recently speaking to the foreign minister of Russia made some pretty blunt remarks about the United States and Europe. Xi said, “Russia and China are not building an alliance we are building a new global reality. The West must either adapt or disappear.” Then he goes on to say the West wants others to live in perpetual poverty so that their banks remain rich – “We do not seek to rule the world, only to liberate it from those who believe they own it”. Then there was a report from Russia a day or two after that, essentially saying the same thing. Clearly the Russians and the Chinese have gotten together, and they have said we need to start sending the message out, that it is the one and two percenters, the oligarchs who control the media, control Wall Street, control the banks, control the Middle East, control the United States and the Collective West, now want to start World War III and take it nuclear.
Iran and the Houthi of Yemen are bringing regional stability to the Middle East and therefore hampering the Collective West’s constant escalation and provocation of WW3 by removing Western dominance in maritime security in the Red Sea.
Here’s a quote from the link below regarding the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden:
The inability of U.S. and allied naval forces to protect Zionist-linked shipping underscores a dramatic erosion in American prestige.
Washington’s much-touted Red Sea coalition has failed to prevent the closure of Umm ar-Rashrash, undermining claims of Western dominance in maritime security.
