European states rejected a proposal from Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi to allow UN inspectors access to one bombed nuclear site and to present a plan within 45 days for handling 400 kilograms of highly enriched uranium, The Guardian reported Friday.
“The Iranian foreign ministry thought we would not go through with this, but they never came up with a serious offer. Araghchi misjudged this badly,” said a European diplomat to The Guardian.
