The Wall Street Journal, quoting Europe, states that the suspension of the snapback mechanism is conditional upon Iran’s transparent cooperation with the Agency.
In a report, The Wall Street Journal addressed the reactions to the agreement signed between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency in Cairo.
The report noted that although Rafael Grossi, the Agency’s director, said that under this agreement, inspections of nuclear facilities and equipment and reporting on enriched uranium reserves would resume, the fate of the existing enriched uranium reserves in Iran remains unclear, and no agreement has been reached on its future.
In this context, The Wall Street Journal, quoting a senior European diplomat, wrote that if the Islamic Republic of Iran does not set a specific timeline for the return of inspectors, it is unlikely that signing the agreement with the Agency will be sufficient to convince European governments and halt the snapback mechanism.
Germany, France, and the United Kingdom had previously stated that if Tehran takes concrete and clear steps to resume cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency and enters serious negotiations with the United States, they might delay the reimposition of sanctions.
