Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is headed to Vienna to meet with officials from Britain, France and Germany, the so-called E3, Iran’s Nournews agency reports, as international sanctions on Tehran over its nuclear program are set to be reimposed at the end of this month.
The E3 triggered a so-called “snapback” mechanism on August 28, following unsuccessful talks with Iran to reach a new nuclear agreement.
The mechanism launched a 30-day period for the return of all the UN sanctions that were in place on Iran before a now-defunct 2015 nuclear deal, including a conventional arms embargo, restrictions on ballistic missile development, asset freezes, travel bans and a ban on producing nuclear-related technology.
Then on Friday, the United Nations Security Council voted against a resolution that would have blocked the reimposition of the deep economic sanctions, paving the way for them to be reintroduced.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
