End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity” ~llaw
Aug 22, 2025
On My Mind Today:
This is a wait and see situation with the three European nations — France, Britain, and Germany — but the talks are important to see how Europe feels about Iran’s future nuclear programs, including uranium enrichment and one other important reason.
That reason is to see how the USA and Trump respond to any agreement that may or may not be agreed to. as well as Israel’s influence and dependence on Trump.
My concerns are, as usual, that Trump/Netanyahu will interfere with any agreements that may be forthcoming and inherent inference and objections from Trump, which means he would likely jump right into the middle of the talks, creating an end result of little or no progress over an issue that never should have been an issue in the first place. ~llaw

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul confirmed the talks, warning that Europe was prepared to re-impose United Nations sanctions under the so-called “snapback” mechanism unless Iran committed to a verifiable and lasting deal. “Time is very short and Iran needs to engage substantively,” he said.
According to Iranian outlets, Araghchi rejected the threat, accusing the European trio of lacking “legal and moral competence” to trigger snapback sanctions and warning of consequences if they did so.
The three European governments, backed by the United States, have accused Tehran of advancing uranium enrichment in violation of international commitments and say its programme could be used to develop nuclear weapons.
