• Iran says there are no plans to resume negotiations at this stage after the UK, France and Germany reimposed sanctions.
• Sanctions trigger UN snapback and prompt Iran to weigh consequences while diplomacy may continue in a limited sense.
• IAEA context and enrichment remain central, with Iran insisting its programme is civilian and cited as 60% enrichment by IAEA norms.
• Historical backdrop recalls the 2015 nuclear deal and subsequent withdrawals and commitments that shaped current tensions.

Three outlets report the same core message: Iran’s foreign ministry says it does not plan to immediately resume nuclear talks with European nations after Britain, France and Germany reimposed sanctions on September 28, which also reopened UN sanctions under the snapback mechanism. Baqaei is quoted saying, "We have no plans for negotiations at this stage," and that Iran is examining the "consequences and implications" of the restart of sanctions, while noting that diplomacy “in the sense of maintaining contacts and consultations” will continue. The articles also stress that Iran positions its nuclear programme as civilian and notes Western accusations, with the IAEA highlighting that Iran is currently enriching uranium to around 60 percent, near potential thresholds. These elements are drawn from TRT Global, Le Monde, and SCMP. according to trtglobal, Le Monde, and SCMP.

The same trio of reports emphasizes the ongoing friction with Western states over Iran’s alleged weaponization aims, while underscoring Tehran’s insistence on civilian purposes and rights to enrichment under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. They note that the IAEA’s assessment places Iran as the only country without a nuclear weapons program already enriching to 60 percent, a figure cited across sources. All three pieces also reference Iran’s warning that a return of sanctions would suspend cooperation with the IAEA, and point to a recent assertion by Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi that cooperation with the IAEA is “no longer relevant” with the reintroduction of UN sanctions. Direct quotes and framing are drawn from TRT Global, Le Monde, and SCMP. according to trtglobal, Le Monde, and SCMP.

Historically, the articles tie today’s posture to the 2015 deal in which Iran’s nuclear activities were regulated in exchange for sanction relief, followed by the U.S. withdrawal under President Trump in 2018 and Tehran’s subsequent partial withdrawals from certain commitments, including enrichment limits. They highlight that Western powers and Israel accuse Iran of pursuing weaponization, while Tehran maintains its program is civilian. In this frame, the IAEA’s status as monitoring body remains central, and the articles note the ongoing debate over sanctions and enforcement that has shaped Tehran’s calculations about resuming talks. This historical context is presented consistently across TRT Global, Le Monde, and SCMP. according to trtglobal, Le Monde, and SCMP.
