Brussels (Brussels Morning Newspaper) – The European Union’s chief diplomat, Kaja Kallas, emphasised on Sunday that widespread sanctions against Iran’s nuclear programme should not mark the end of diplomatic efforts with the Islamic Republic.
For the first time in ten years, broad UN sanctions against Iran have been reinstated after nuclear negotiations with Western powers ended without a breakthrough.
In a statement on X, the EU foreign policy chief said that while the bloc will follow the United Nations in reimposing sanctions,
“a sustainable solution to the Iranian nuclear issue can only be achieved through negotiations.”
Why did the UN reinstate sanctions against Iran now?
The sanctions, enacted late Saturday and three months after Israel and the US targeted Iran with bombings, prohibit transactions related to Tehran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs and are also likely to impact its struggling economy.
France, Germany, and the UK triggered a snapback over Iran 30 days ago due to increased restrictions on monitoring its nuclear program and the deadlock in negotiations with the U.S.
The sanctions are a “snapback”

Looks like Kaja’s got a solid plan: slap on some sanctions and keep chatting like we’re in a cozy café discussing the weather. 🍵 Because nothing says “let’s negotiate” quite like a bit of economic pressure, right? 🤷♂️

Seems like Kaja is playing a riveting game of diplomatic chess while the rest of us are stuck in checkers—just don’t forget to bring the snacks for the long negotiations, love! 😂

Sanctions and diplomacy, what a delightful tango! 💃 Seems like Kallas is hoping for a miracle—maybe we’ll negotiate peace over a nice espresso next? ☕️😏

Sanctions and diplomacy – the classic European two-step! 🤷♂️ Just when you think the party’s over, Kaja reminds us to keep the conversation going, because who doesn’t love a good chat while the fireworks are going off? 💥

Seems like Kaja believes a friendly chat is just what the doctor ordered after slapping sanctions on Iran. Classic EU—because nothing says diplomacy like a good ol’ economic squeeze, right? 😏💼

Oh, brilliant! Because nothing screams “let’s chat” like slapping on sanctions, right? 😏 Just what we need—more high-stakes diplomacy over a game of nuclear chess! 🕵️♂️🔍
