The Day Iran Rejected the Snap-Back Mechanism

Iranian media on December 2 focused on diplomatic maneuvers and the nuclear program. In the morning, discussions highlighted Foreign Minister Araqchi's emphasis on diplomacy and parliamentary head Ghalibaf's statements on anti-terrorist exercises with a message to 'dominant powers.' Simultaneously, reports from Iran International and Kayhan London indicated the nuclear program continued at remaining sites and that "zero enrichment" would make an agreement impossible. By late afternoon and evening, a joint statement from Iran, China, and Russia rejected the European troika's attempt to activate the snap-back mechanism, a significant development reported by Tasnim News. Domestically, ongoing air pollution led to school and office closures in several provinces, continuing a trend from previous days, and mobile internet tariffs saw a 20% increase.
