Hey friends! 🌟 Today, let’s talk about something important happening in the world. Do you know about Iran’s nuclear deal? It’s okay if you don’t—let’s learn together!
What’s the Nuclear Deal?
In 2015, Iran made an agreement with several countries, including Britain, France, and Germany (they’re called the E3 nations). Iran agreed to limit its nuclear activities, and in return, many of the sanctions (like penalties or restrictions) against Iran were lifted. This deal was meant to make sure Iran uses nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, like making electricity, and not for making weapons.
What’s Happening Now?
Recently, Iran accused the E3 nations of not following the deal. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Mr. Esmaeil Baghaei, said that the European countries have been “at fault and negligent” in keeping their promises.
On the other hand, the E3 nations warned that they might bring back sanctions if Iran doesn’t return to the negotiating table to talk about the nuclear deal.
Upcoming Talks
But there’s hope! 😊 Iran and the E3 countries are planning to meet in Istanbul, Turkey, on Friday. They will have talks at the deputy foreign minister level. This means important people from each country will sit down and discuss how to solve their differences.
What’s the “Snapback Mechanism”?
This is a way for the United Nations (UN) to quickly bring back sanctions on Iran if Iran doesn’t follow the nuclear deal. The E3 nations have said they might use this “snapback” by the end of August if the talks don’t go well.
What Does Iran Say?
Iran feels that the E3 nations should “act responsibly” and stop using threats like the snapback mechanism. They believe this kind of pressure isn’t helpful.
Why Is This Important?
The nuclear deal helps keep everyone safe by making sure nuclear technology is used peacefully. It’s important for countries to talk and work together so that misunderstandings don’t lead to bigger problems.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed that these talks lead to a positive outcome! 🤞💕
