TEHRAN, November 16. . Tehran no longer intends to discuss issues related to Iran's nuclear program with the Euro-three countries (UK, Germany and France) after they tried to use the rapid response mechanism, which aims to restore anti-Iran sanctions of the United Nations Security Council. Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Said Khatibzadeh stated this to .
“You know, the topic of negotiations with the United States is different from negotiations with the Euro-troika. After the sensational story, we decided not to negotiate with them on the issue of the nuclear program, because they have taken actions contrary to international law. Relations with European countries continue, but we will not discuss the topic of the nuclear program, especially because Germany is not a member of the United Nations Security Council,” he said.
On September 26, the United Nations Security Council rejected a draft resolution proposed by Russia and China that would have extended Resolution 2231, adopted in support of the Iran nuclear deal, for six months. On September 28, the Security Council's sanctions against Iran took effect.
On September 29, the Council of the European Union decided, following Eurotroika, to partially restore restrictions on the Islamic republic. This group of measures includes a ban on entry of certain individuals into the EU, asset freezes of individuals and legal entities included in the sanctions list, trade restrictions, asset freezes of the Central Bank of Iran and several major commercial banks, as well as a ban on serving Iranian cargo flights at European airports.
