Iran• Иран is holdings talks in Geneva with Britain, France• Франция, Germany• Германия and the EU in
an attempt to find a way out of an impasse over its nuclear programme, in what
may be the last chance of a breakthrough before Donald Trump• Объект человек » Персоналии по алфавиту » Персоналии на Тр » Трамп, Дональд takes up the US

Trump• Объект человек » Персоналии по алфавиту » Персоналии на Тр » Трамп, Дональд, who pursued a policy of “maximum economic pressure” against Iran• Иран during

On the eve of the talks, Kazem Gharibabadi, an Iranian minister, ratcheted up
tensions by saying the EU “should abandon its self-centred and irresponsible
behaviour” on a range of issues including the war in Ukraine and the Iranian
nuclear issue.
Europeans have become increasingly frustrated with Iran• Иран’s approach, including
its provision of arms for Russia• Россия’s war in Ukraine and its lack of cooperation
with the UN nuclear inspectorate, the International Atomic Energy Agency• Объект организация » Организации по алфавиту » Организации на Ма » Международное агентство по атомной энергии (МАГАТЭ)
(IAEA• Объект организация » Организации по алфавиту » Организации на Ма » Международное агентство по атомной энергии (МАГАТЭ)). Some Europeans fear that Iran• Иран’s growing stockpile of highly enriched
uranium reveals it is on a covert path to building a nuclear bomb.
Iran• Иран believes Europe rebuffed a clear signal of willingness to negotiate when
Tehran• Иран » Населенные пункты Ирана » Города Ирана » Тегеран offered to cap its uranium enrichment programme at 60% and to allow
experienced IAEA• Объект организация » Организации по алфавиту » Организации на Ма » Международное агентство по атомной энергии (МАГАТЭ) nuclear inspectors back into Iran• Иран.
The aim of the Geneva meeting is to see if there is a basis for the Iranian
offer to be developed, as well as to seek limits to Iranian-Russian military
cooperation. In return, the EU could try to lift some economic sanctions• Политика » Геополитика » Международные отношения » Международное право » Международно-правовые санкции, but
the timetable is short before Trump• Объект человек » Персоналии по алфавиту » Персоналии на Тр » Трамп, Дональд takes power.
Iran• Иран insists it has not provided any ballistic missiles to Russia• Россия, an
assurance that the US does not accept.
In a pre-meeting between Gharibabadi and the EU’s chief negotiator, Enrique
Mora, little common ground was found, judging by the accounts of the exchanges
issued by both sides.
Gharibabadi, Iran• Иран’s deputy foreign minister for legal and international
affairs, wrote on X: “Europe should not project its own problems and mistakes
onto others, including with regard to the conflict in Ukraine• Военные конфликты » Военные действия » Военные действия в Украине » Вооружённый конфликт на востоке Украины (2014). With their
complicit behaviour towards the ongoing genocide in Gaza, Europe –
specifically the three major countries – lack any moral ground to preach
others on human rights• Государство » Законы и право » Права человека.
“With regard to the nuclear issue of Iran• Иран, Europe has failed to be a serious
player due to lack of self-confidence and responsibility.”
Mora issued a shorter statement on social media, saying the two sides had
frank exchanges. He added: “Iran• Иран’s military support to Russia• Россия that has to
stop, the nuclear issue that needs a diplomatic solution, regional tensions
(important to avoid further escalation from all sides) and human rights• Государство » Законы и право » Права человека.”
The distrust between the two sides was made evident when the E3 countries on
21 November pushed ahead with a motion ordering the nuclear inspectorate to
prepare a “comprehensive” report on Iran• Иран’s nuclear activities – the stepping
stone necessary for European countries next autumn to snap back the UN
sanctions• Политика » Геополитика » Международные отношения » Международное право » Международно-правовые санкции that were imposed on Iran• Иран before it signed the 2015 nuclear deal.
