Iran has warned that any move by Britain, France, and Germany to reimpose sanctions under the 2015 nuclear deal would severely impact its cooperation with the United Nations nuclear watchdog. Deputy foreign minister Kazem Gharibabadi stated that such action could halt ongoing interactions with the International Atomic Energy Agency. Iran is reportedly working with China and Russia to prevent the return of sanctions. While inspectors from the agency have recently returned to Iran, there is still no agreement on access to sensitive nuclear sites that were targeted in recent attacks. The future of Iran's cooperation with the agency remains uncertain, with officials indicating that any collaboration will take a new form.
