Hey fam! 🌎 Heads up from the UNGA in New York: Iran and the E3 — that’s France 🇫🇷, Britain 🇬🇧 and Germany 🇩🇪 — are gearing up for big talks on Tehran's nuclear program. 🤝
Iran's Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi has just landed in NYC, leading Tehran's delegation. He'll join France's, Britain's and Germany's top diplomats at the foreign minister level, along with EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas. All this while the world watches at the UN General Assembly.
Why care? Last week the UN Security Council couldn't extend sanctions relief under the 2015 JCPOA nuclear deal. The E3 triggered the deal's "snapback" mechanism, meaning fresh UN sanctions could kick in soon. Iran's Supreme National Security Council even announced it will suspend cooperation with the IAEA. 😬
This meeting marks another chapter in talks that began last year, all aiming to balance non-proliferation with lifting sanctions. Will New York be the breakthrough? Or more gridlock? Stay tuned as we track every update. 🔍
