Iranian officials will meet representatives of France, the United Kingdom and Germany on Friday, November 29 to discuss the nuclear issue.
This was announced by the spokesperson of the Tehran Foreign Ministry, Esmail Baqaei, quoted by the Iranian news agency “Irna”.
The meeting is part of the talks that took place on the sidelines of the annual meeting of the United Nations General Assembly in New York in September and is expected to take place in Vienna. According to press sources, the Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs, Majid Takht Ravanchi, who previously held the position of Iran‘s ambassador to the United Nations and was part of the Iranian negotiating team for the nuclear agreement.
At the moment there is no official confirmation from the European side. Previously, the Iranian state news agency “ISNA”, citing European Union Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Peter Stano, reported that the EU is in contact with Tehran regarding the prospect of resuming talks, however There is no independent source to confirm Stano’s statement.
France, England and Germany are attempting, once again, to continue with the Obama-Biden agenda in relations with Iran, which places the three European countries in an anti-Israeli political perspective, as well as with the sending of missiles to Ukraine and with the permission to use them against Russia they followed the logic of the neocons.
From these positions of countries that are within the Atlantic Alliance, nothing good can be predicted in relations with the next US administration, which could act against those who intend to act in contrast with US political lines with heavy applications of duties.
The European trimurti moves in a regional scenario that remains conflictual and with an international context that risks becoming increasingly hostile, with Iran trying to reopen the nuclear issue before Donald Trump’s return to the White House makes the issue even more delicate.
Trump, who will be inaugurated as the next president of the United States in January, is in fact responsible for his country’s unilateral withdrawal from the nuclear agreement signed in 2015 (the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, JCPOA) which collapsed three years later. During his next term, Trump is likely to continue using the “hard line” against Tehran.
The European Trimurti’s move is a dissonant element in an international context which sees Iran heavily attacking Netanyahu.
According to the Iranian Supreme Leader, in fact, the recent arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court against Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and the former Defense Minister is not sufficient. “Netanyahu and the Israeli authorities – said the Guide – should be executed for war crimes.”
Meanwhile, Israeli government sources told Israeli public television Kan that the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon “is closed.”
According to the broadcaster, Netanyahu is studying how to explain it to public opinion.
The ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had given the green light “in principle” should have been transmitted to the Lebanese government. An Israeli source familiar with the dossier told CNN, according to which some details are still being negotiated. Multiple sources also stress that the deal will not be final until all issues have been resolved.
The truce between Israel and Lebanon could thus be close, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted “in principle” the ceasefire proposal with Hezbollah put forward by the United States of America.
In a fluid situation, which sees a new phase emerging in Israel’s position, also depending on the imminent arrival of Trump in the White House, the initiatives of the European trimurti only risk creating confusion, as it is clear that Tel Aviv will never allow Iran equips itself with an atomic bomb.
In recent weeks the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi went to Iran for a new visit and met with his counterpart from the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI), Mohammad Eslami, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abbas Araghchi.
The latter reiterated that “Iran has never left the negotiating table on its peaceful nuclear program, adding that now “the ball is in the European Union’s court”.
In a message released on the social media site Araghchi called the talks with Grossi “important” and said: “As a member of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) we continue our full cooperation with the IAEA.” “Divergences – concluded the minister – can be resolved through cooperation and dialogue”.
Tehran announced the launch of new centrifuges and other measures by the Islamic Republic, asserting that “they were adopted to protect the country’s interests and further develop the peaceful nuclear industry, in line with growing national needs and within the framework of rights and Iran’s obligations under the Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement.”
The enrichment of uranium, therefore, continues and the trimurti, on this slippery terrain, only risks doing damage and getting in the way of the United States.
The consequences are imaginable.
