Araghchi: US, Israeli kill Cairo Agreement

Tehran, IRNA -- Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has highlighted the destructive measures taken by the US and the Israeli regime to strike diplomacy and said the two regimes have also killed the Cairo Agreement .
"Like the diplomacy which was assaulted by Israel and the US in June, the Cairo Agreement has been killed by the US and the E3," Araghchi wrote on his X account on Friday.
Araghchi outlined the sordid sequence of events that have brought about such results as follow:
- When we were on the eve of a sixth round of nuclear talks with the US, Iran was suddenly attacked by Israel and then the US.
- When Iran subsequently signed a deal with the IAEA in Cairo to resume inspections—with Egypt's mediation and despite the bombing of our nuclear facilities—the E3 pursued UN sanctions against our people under US pressure.
- When Iran started giving IAEA inspectors access to our nuclear facilities—beginning with sites that were not bombed in June—the US and the E3 ganged up to censure Iran at the IAEA BoG.
"Clear for all to see: Iran is not the party that seeks to manufacture another crisis. Nor is our good will appreciated," he noted.
"Given that the E3 and the US seek escalation, they know full well that the official termination of the Cairo Agreement is the direct outcome of their provocations," he stressed.
Earlier on Thursday, in response to the issuance of an anti-Iran resolution by the Board of Governors of the IAEA, Araghchi had announced that the Cairo memorandum of understanding is officially considered terminated.
On Thursday, a resolution proposed by the European Troika, namely France, Britain, and Germany, with US support, against Iran's peaceful nuclear program was adopted at the meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors.
