TEHRAN – In an interview aired on Tuesday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeli Bakaei brought harsh criticism of the new push for the European power to invoke a “snapback” mechanism of UN sanctions against Tehran.
He dismissed the move as “born out of despair rather than experts,” saying that European actions revealed fundamental credibility as diplomatic partners.
“European countries have held their snapbacks for several months, a tool that reflects their inability to constructive involvement,” he said, stressing that Iran “never give away to fear tor” what is called an unfounded allegation.
Baqaei’s remarks will be held by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Committee for the seasonal meeting, which will begin on Monday and close on Friday.
During the session, the US and E3 (France, Germany, and the UK) are once again leading a politically motivating campaign to denounce Iran, relying on unverified allegations presented in the IAEA’s latest report.
The report, cited by Director Rafael Grossi, anchors traces of uranium particles at three undeclared sites, claiming Iran is attributable to “abusing” from the Israeli regime and politically motivated intelligence.
In his comments on television nationwide, Fukaei dismissed the allegation as “a past excavation survey from 25 years ago.”
The responsibilities of a Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman coincides with a groundbreaking statement issued Tuesday by Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence.
The ministry has revealed that it has obtained documents releasing the “illegal and secret nuclear weapons program” run by Tel Aviv, and documents detailing facilities, research and cooperation with US and European agencies.
“These papers demonstrate how the United States and certain European countries acted as supporters, collaborators and contractors in advancing the Crime Zionist regime’s nuclear weapons programme,” the ministry declared.
“However, through double standards and unfounded accusations, they try to portray Iran, a state of transparency that is fully compliant with the treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons (NPT).
Furthermore, in his interview, Fukaray argued that Western unrest over Iranian programs was not de facto evidence but was attributed to “malicious concerns promoted by Israel.”
An Iranian spokesman said, “For 40 years since 1984, allegations of Iran’s nuclear ambitions have emerged in Israeli media. The IAEA’s own report supports the peaceful nature of our activities.”
Baqaei reiterated the history of Europe under US pressure, recalling that Washington unilaterally abandoned its 2015 Joint Comprehensive Action Plan (JCPOA) in 2018, and then failed to protect Iran from sanctions.
“Europe has failed to fulfill its obligations after the US withdrawal,” he pointed out.
Not only did Europe fail to protect Iran from sweeping sanctions, its unfortunate promise to establish alternative financial mechanisms to promote non-USD and non-swift transactions with Iran, often referred to as a means of supporting trade exchange (Instex) initiatives, further highlighting its flaws.
By choosing to align with US policy instead of respecting the JCPOA commitment, European policymakers have deepened the impact of sanctions and undermined meaningful efforts towards a constructive diplomatic dialogue with Tehran.
Baqaei also added that E3’s potential introduction to Iran’s security council called for “no snapback quarrels; a political will to appease the US and Israel.”
The current threat of E3 that causes Snapback (a mechanism that expires in October) envisages restoring all JCPOA UN sanctions, including arms embargo and uranium enrichment.
Baqaei warned that this would backfire. “If snapbacks are called, there is a European role at the end of the JCPOA, and tensions can irreversibly escalate.”
Despite European “destroying behavior,” the idiots highlighted Iran’s continued diplomatic outreach, including cancelled consultations with the E3 Foreign Minister.
“The JCPOA is still alive, so we are ready for dialogue and they are parties to it,” he said.
In particular, the US has sidelined E3 in recent negotiations and held five rounds of indirect talks with Iran through Oman. Everything suffered from Washington’s demand for “zero enrichment” in Iranian soils.
“Grossi is not acting constructively.”
Furthermore, Baqaei reserved the sharp criticism of IAEA Director Rafael Grossi, claiming that he had abandoned technical neutrality to serve the western geopolitical agenda.
“Grossi is not acting constructively. His interviews and statements are consistent with the countries that have chosen to confront Iran,” he said.
The idiots described the story as “distracting,” emphasizing that Iran’s nuclear program “has never deviated from peaceful purposes.”
The recent actions of the IAEA Director suggest the possible coordination between nuclear watchdogs and anti-Iranian elements, particularly given IAEA Director Rafael Grossi’s famous ambitions to secure the position of UN Secretary-General.
Sources speaking to the Tehran Times say Iran has come across a confidential letter that he previously sent to the IAEA. This is one of the most recent Israeli documents obtained along with other classified UN nuclear surveillance documents related to the programme.
One insider said Tehran believes that the Israeli regime did not steal these materials via spying, but obtained them directly from the IAEA.
Baqaei also highlighted the unbalanced scrutiny of Iran compared to other countries.
He attributes this imbalance and US control within the IAEA Committee’s Governor’s Committee.
While denounced Western pressure, Bakaei confirms that Tehran will soon submit a “logical and balanced” reflux to the United States, arguing that the agreement must ensure verifiable sanctions relief and normalized trade.
