Iran says sanctions snapback will halt Cairo deal with IAEA

With just one week left before UN sanctions are set to snap back on September 28, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi warned that the move would derail a recent agreement with the UN nuclear watchdog, signed in Cairo.

“If no diplomatic action takes place, in one week — by the end of September 27 — these sanctions will return, and the agreement Iran reached with the IAEA in Cairo will certainly be halted," he told the state TV.

"Foreign Minister Araghchi also stressed on the very day this agreement was signed that if any hostile action is taken against Iran, including activation of the snapback, the deal will be considered terminated.”
