Iran Says Reimposing UN Sanctions Would Complicate Nuclear Standoff
TEHRAN PROVINCE, IRAN, JUL 21 – Iran, China, and Russia meet to coordinate strategy to prevent UN sanctions amid a looming August deadline for a new nuclear deal, with European countries threatening snapback enforcement.
- On July 22, 2025, the Islamic Republic of Iran hosts China and Russia in Tehran, Esmaeil Baghaei said, to discuss nuclear and sanctions concerns.
- Amid European threats of snapback, Iran's Foreign Ministry said it will hold talks with Russia and China on Tuesday to prevent sanctions reimposition, officials said.
- Official sources reported the talks focused on expanding military cooperation, with Ali Larijani and Aziz Nasir Zadeh meeting President Vladimir Putin on July 20, 2025.
- Despite Chinese and Russian backing, experts note sanctions cannot be blocked, as Moscow and Beijing cannot prevent reinstatement if the E3 proceeds.
- With October 2025 approaching, the E3 must initiate proceedings by September 3, 2025, to ensure sanctions can be reinstated before the mechanism expires.
