Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced that Tehran is collaborating with Russia and China to prevent the reimposition of European sanctions related to its nuclear program. This comes after Britain, France, and Germany warned they may trigger the mechanism to restore United Nations sanctions if Iran does not return to negotiations. The three European nations, signatories to the 2015 nuclear agreement, have set a deadline for Iran to reach a diplomatic solution or face renewed sanctions. Iranian officials have warned that such actions could escalate tensions and have threatened to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty if sanctions are reinstated.
