Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, in an article published in the British newspaper "The Guardian":
- The United Kingdom, France, and Germany made a grave mistake by reimposing sanctions against Iran.
- Europe is wrong to follow Trump's strategy; we are open to diplomacy to reach a new nuclear deal.
- The troika's activation of the "trigger mechanism" lacks any legal basis and ignores the events that led Iran to take corrective measures.
- I warned my troika counterparts that their maneuvers will not achieve the result they seek.
- What the three countries did will only further marginalize them, excluding them from future diplomacy with negative consequences.
- The three European countries must change their destructive approach to escape a lose-lose game.
- Europe's current policies have many negative consequences for Europe's credibility and global standing.
