According to Agence France-Presse, the foreign ministers of France, Germany and Britain held a video meeting on the 23rd and issued a joint statement, "deeply regretting" Iran's suspension of voluntary implementation of the additional protocol to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
The statement urged Iran to stop all actions to reduce "transparency" and ensure full and timely cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The statement also emphasized that it supports diplomatic efforts to find a negotiated solution, and the goal is still to maintain the Iran nuclear agreement.
The permanent representative of Russia to the Vienna International Organization also expressed through social media that he hopes that through political efforts, under the background of fully resuming the implementation of the "Joint Comprehensive Action Plan", the International Atomic Energy Agency will resume part of the supervision and verification of Iran's nuclear activities.
According to the news agency of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Rouhani said at a cabinet meeting on the 24th that Iran still hopes to maintain the comprehensive agreement, but whether the agreement can be maintained under the current situation depends on whether the United States stops its "economic terrorism" policy.

Iran’s National Television previously reported that Iran has officially restricted international inspections of its nuclear facilities since the 23rd, trying to pressure European countries and the US government to lift severe economic sanctions and restore the Iran nuclear agreement reached in 2015. .
Regarding negotiations on returning to the Iranian nuclear agreement, US State Department spokesperson Price stated on the 24th that the United States’ patience with Iran is “not unlimited” and that “the most effective way to ensure that Iran will never acquire nuclear weapons is through diplomacy. ".
Price said on the 18th of this month that the United States will accept the invitation of the EU's high-level representatives to discuss with the permanent members of the UN Security Council, Germany, Iran and other participants in the Iran nuclear agreement to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue through diplomatic channels.
