Europe has a deal for Iran. Delay of sanctions on the table, and the price of starting talks

During Friday's conversations in Istanbul, European countries can offer Iran to extend the date of imposing international sanctions in exchange for cooperation and resumption of conversations – said the British daily Financial Times, citing information obtained from Western diplomats.

Representatives of Great Britain, France and Germany (so -called E3) are to meet on Friday in Istanbul with the delegation of Iran. These will be the first talks between the Islamic Republic and the Western powers since the June 12-day war of Israel with Iran, in which the United States took part for a short time.

European signatories of the 2015 nuclear agreement, which fell after the unilateral withdrawal of US President Donald Trump during his first term (2017-21), must decide whether to launch the so-called Fast restoration mechanism (Snapback). Thanks to this solution, the UN sanctions, abolished by agreement, would be restored.

E3 will probably propose to extend the Iran date of the UN sanctions for several months, “the Financial Times, the high -ranking Western diplomats. Otherwise, the Western countries would have to decide to launch the procedure for restoring sanctions by mid -September – a month before the expiry of the key clauses of the 2015 contract, which is to take place on October 18.

Diplomats confirmed in an interview with “FT” that a possible extension could take several months and would require a resolution of the UN Security Council.

Some radical Iranian politicians threatened Tehran's withdrawal from the Nuclear weapon (NPT) NPT weapons, if the UN sanctions are restored. Iran has already suspended cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (Maea).

Nevertheless, the deputy minister of foreign affairs Iran Kaz Garibabadi announced on Wednesday that in the coming weeks Tehran's Technical Team will come to the International Atomic Energy Agency (Maea) to negotiate the “new mode” of cooperation. He emphasized, however, that the Iranian side would not allow inspectors to enter nuclear facilities.

This week, Iran conducted conversations with Russia and China in Tehran – other signatories of the 2015 agreement of the 2015 agreement were not disclosed about these negotiations.

Iran authorities maintain that the nuclear program of this country is only peaceful, although Tehran enriches uranium to a level not used in any civil applications, but allowing it to quickly adapt it to military needs.

Foreign Minister Iran Abbas Aragczi said on Thursday on state television that talks with E3 do not mean a change in the position of the Republic. “The world should know after the war that Iran's position has not changed and is still strong,” he argued. – Enriching uranium will continue and we will not compromise in matters related to the rights of the Iranian people – he declared.
