Iran’s Mehr News reports on an unnamed but lengthy, televised interview Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had on Saturday evening, Oct. 11. Among the many topics discussed, the Foreign Minister said the Cairo agreement reached in September with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is “suspended.”
Araghchi said: “The Cairo agreement is currently suspended. The reason we reached an agreement with the Agency was due to changes on the ground. With the actions of the three European countries, this agreement has lost its effectiveness. Any request from the Agency will go to the Supreme National Security Council according to law, and decisions will be made…. If something benefits us, the Supreme National Security Council decides.”
