Tehran, October 6 (Xinhua) — Iran has no plans to hold talks with France, Britain, and Germany, known as the E3, following their decision to trigger the UN sanctions snapback mechanism, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said on Monday.
At a weekly briefing for journalists in Tehran, E. Baghaei said that Iran is “studying the impact and consequences” of recent anti-Iranian measures by three European powers and the United States.
He said Iran would decide on diplomatic steps "whenever the government deems it productive." He emphasized that any negotiations must serve the country's national interests.
“Iran will never beg for negotiations,” Baghaei said, adding that negotiations are a two-way process that must protect national interests, security and dignity.
The UN Security Council did not extend Iran's sanctions waiver in September after the E3 countries, in coordination with Washington, activated the snapback mechanism in August.
Since September last year, Iran has held several rounds of talks with the EU-3, which have focused primarily on the Iranian nuclear program and the lifting of sanctions.
