The Iranian foreign ministry issued a statement saying that it considered all provisions of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear agreement to be terminated. The foreign ministry statement said that Iran remained committed to diplomacy, but Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said earlier that Iran did not see a reason to negotiate with the three European parties to the JCPOA who triggered the agreement's snapback mechanism in August.
