TEHRAN, June 11 (Xinhua) -- Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi on Wednesday warned that Tehran will react strongly if France, Britain, and Germany continue to push for an "anti-Iran" resolution at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

He made the remarks in a post on social media platform X while reacting to a resolution against Iran proposed by the three European powers, collectively known as the E3, at the ongoing meeting of the IAEA's Board of Governors in Vienna.

Araghchi pointed to a 2015 nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), between Iran and world powers, from which the United States unilaterally withdrew in 2018, saying that although the E3 had seven years to implement their JCPOA commitments, "they have utterly failed, either by design or ineptitude."

"Instead of displaying remorse or a desire to facilitate diplomacy, the E3 is today promoting confrontation through the absurd demand that Iran must be punished for exercising its right under the JCPOA to respond to non-performance by counterparts," Araghchi said.

"Another major strategic mistake by the E3 will compel Iran to react strongly," he added.

If adopted, the resolution will prepare the ground for the European powers to trigger the snapback mechanism, a clause in the JCPOA that would allow the other parties to reimpose all international sanctions if Iran fails to comply with the agreement.

Following the U.S. withdrawal from JCPOA under President Donald Trump during his first term and Washington's reimposition of sanctions, Iran gradually reduced compliance with its nuclear commitments. Efforts to revive the agreement have not achieved substantial progress.
