Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told his French counterpart Jean-Noel Barrot that the push from France, Germany, and Britain to submit a resolution against Tehran would "complicate matter."
Iran's foreign minister told International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi that Tehran is willing to resolve outstanding disputes over its nuclear program but won't succumb to pressure.
Grossi highlighted that the Islamic Republic continues to increase its 20% and 60% enriched uranium stock as well as the number of cascades it has for enriching uranium in violation of the 2015 deal.
Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas have targeted the Dimona reactor in the past and are likely to do so in the future.
Grossi noted that since Pezeshkian's inauguration on July 30, there has been no progress whatsoever with the Islamic Republic despite public statements made by some of its officials.
