Iranian regime’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Abbas Araghchi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Three-minute read<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Once again, the Iranian regime is resorting to its time-tested strategy of stalling nuclear negotiations while attempting to buy time in the face of growing international pressure. In an interview with Iran<\/em> newspaper on March 13, Abbas Araghchi, the clerical regime\u2019s Minister of Foreign Affairs, stated<\/a>: “Under maximum pressure, we will not negotiate.” However, he simultaneously admitted that indirect negotiations through back channels\u2014such as Oman\u2019s Muscat channel\u2014are still an option, adding, “This is neither new nor unusual; it has happened many times in history.”<\/p>\n

This is yet another instance of the Iranian regime employing double-talk\u2014publicly rejecting talks while secretly seeking indirect negotiations to alleviate sanctions. The regime hopes to create the illusion of diplomatic engagement to prevent further escalation at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), where the snapback mechanism looms over Tehran as a grave threat.<\/p>\n

The Shadow of the Snapback Mechanism<\/h3>\n

This week, the UN Security Council (UNSC) convened<\/a> behind closed doors to discuss Iran\u2019s nuclear advancements. The meeting has caused panic within the Iranian leadership, as it raises the prospect of triggering the snapback mechanism, which would automatically reimpose all previous UN sanctions on Tehran without the need for a new vote. The regime\u2019s UN Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani strongly objected<\/a> to the UNSC meeting, calling it a “provocative and illegitimate session” that constitutes a “blatant political move” designed to pressure Iran.<\/p>\n
