German Foreign Minister Joahann Wadephul wrote on his X account that "Iran must never possess nuclear weapons. The legal steps of the snapback sanctions mechanism have been in place for a long time." According to him, the E3 countries - Germany, France and Italy, "emphasized this again in a letter we sent to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres." He added that "Iran has the choice to return to diplomacy and full cooperation with the IAEA. We offered it a limited time extension for the possibility of implementing sanctions under certain conditions. It depends on them."
