Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Bakaei addressed the regime's relations with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and said that "trust between Iran and the IAEA has been lost." He also responded to the decision by European powers Germany, France and Britain to activate the "snapback" mechanism that could reinstate sanctions on Iran within 30 days, saying: "We do not welcome the return of sanctions, but we have learned how to protect our dignity and deal with this unjust war."
